The IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) is the flagship conference sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on the Mathematical Foundations of Computing (TCMF) and covers a broad range of theoretical computer science. It is held annually in the autumn and is paired with its sister conference, the annual Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC) held each spring and sponsored by ACM SIGACT.

UCSC students: If you are interested in attending the conference, there are opportunities to volunteer and receive complimentary admission. Contact Alexandra Kolla, akolla@ucsc.edu for details.
