The 9th edition of WoLA, the Workshop on Local Algorithms, will be taking place on August 18-20, 2025 at the Toyota Technological Institute (TTIC), Chicago, IL.

For those unfamiliar with WoLA:

Local algorithms, that is, algorithms that compute and make decisions on parts of the output considering only a portion of the input, have been studied in a number of areas in theoretical computer science and mathematics. Some of these areas include sublinear-time algorithms, distributed algorithms, inference in large networks and graphical models. These communities have similar goals but a variety of approaches, techniques, and methods. This workshop is aimed at fostering dialogue and cross-pollination of ideas between the various communities.

You are all invited and we would love to see you there!  For more on (free) registration (by ⏰ August 10), how to submit a poster, list of invited speakers, and local arrangements, see the website.
