Systems/CORE B
SPAA 2026
ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures
The ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA 2027) is a premier conference co-sponsored by ACM SIGACT and SIGARCH, held in Atlanta, GA, from June 5–11, 2027, as part of the Federated Computing Research Conference. It welcomes original research spanning theoretical and experimental aspects of parallel and distributed computing, including algorithms, architectures, programming systems, and emerging domains like machine learning and quantum computing.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Brief Announcements
Work in progress, tool/library announcements, challenge problems, corrections to prior results, or smaller results of independent interest; maximum 3 pages in ACM sigconf format (including title, abstract, and bibliography). No appendix allowed.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must be double-blind: omit author names, affiliations, and contact information; cite own prior work in third person; anonymize supplementary materials.
- Regular papers must not exceed 10 pages (excluding bibliography and appendix); brief announcements must not exceed 3 pages (including all content).
- Submissions must use the official ACM sigconf template (single-spaced, double-column, 8.5×11-inch, 9-pt font).
- Papers must be original and not under concurrent submission elsewhere; prior workshop presentations without copyrighted proceedings are acceptable.
- Rejected regular papers are automatically considered for brief announcements unless the title includes "full paper only".
- Authors must disclose conflicts of interest including academic advisor/advisee (no time limit), postdoctoral mentor/mentee (3-year limit), collaborators within past 3 years, same institutional affiliation within past 3 years, family/close friends, and anyone involved in alleged harassment incidents.
- Falsely declared conflicts risk rejection without review.
- Authors must have ORCID iDs to complete the publishing process.
