The Nineteenth International Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS 2026) from August 14-16, 2026 in Bremerhaven, Germany. The conference co-chairs were Shahaf Shperberg (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel), Rina Dechter (University of California, Irvine, USA ) and Stefan Edelkamp (Charles University and Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic).
The International Symposium on Combinatorial Search is meant to bring researchers in such areas together to exchange ideas and cross-fertilize the field. SoCS serves researchers and submissions in all fields that use combinatorial search, including artificial intelligence, planning, robotics, constraint programming, meta-reasoning, operations research, navigation, and bioinformatics. SoCS 2026 was co-located with the 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-ECAI 2026). The papers included in this issue have been organized into three categories — technical papers, position papers, and extended abstracts.
