The International Conference on Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics (CALDAM), held under aegis of the Association for Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics (ACSDM), is intended to bring together researchers working in the areas of algorithms and applied discrete mathematics and provide a high-quality forum for the dissemination and discussion of research results in these broad areas. CALDAM has originated from the ongoing efforts for promoting research in Algorithms and Discrete Mathematics.

The twelfth CALDAM (CALDAM 2026) will be organized by the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (IIT Dharwad) from 12th to 14th of February 2026. As in earlier CALDAMs, the proceedings of accepted papers of CALDAM 2026 will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer. Also, it is likely that the selected papers of CALDAM 2026 will be published as a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM), as in previous CALDAMs. As before, it is likely that Springer will sponsor awards for the best student presentations.

A set of topics within the scope of CALDAM includes (but is not limited to):

1. CALDAM 2025, PSG College of Technology (Proceedings).

2. CALDAM 2024, Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai (Proceedings and DAM Special Issue).

3. CALDAM 2023, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (Proceedings and DAM Special Issue).
