'''SODA''', theThe '''Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms''' ('''SODA''') is an [[academic conference]] in the fieldfields of [[algorithm design]] and [[discrete mathematics]]. It is considered to be one of the top conferences for research in algorithms.<ref>For andinstance, complexitySODA is the only conference with the top A* ranking in the [https://portal.core.edu.au/conf-ranks/?search=algorithms&by=all&source=CORE2023&sort=atitle&page=1 2023 CORE Rankings of algorithms conferences].</ref> SODA has been organized annually since 1990, typically in January.<ref>{{citation |url=https://dblp.org/streams/conf/soda |title=Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA) |publisher=[[DBLP]] |accessdate=2017-12-11}}</ref> SODA is jointly sponsored by the [[Association for Computing Machinery|ACM]] Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory ([[SIGACT]]) and the [[Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics|SIAM]] Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics, and in format is more similar to a [[theoretical computer science]] conference than to a mathematics conference.<ref>{{citation |first=Peter |last=Winkler |authorlinkauthor-link=Peter Winkler |title=How (and Why!) to Write a SODA Paper |url=http://www.siam.org/meetings/da98/winkler.ps}}.

==History==

The first Symposium on Discrete Algorithms was held in 1990 at San Francisco, organized by [[David S. Johnson|David Johnson]].

In 2012, the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (ACM SIGACT) and SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics (SIAG/DM) jointly established SODA Steering Committee to work with SIAM and ACM on organizing SODA.
