This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation, IPEC 2013, in Sophia Antipolis, France, in September 2013. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The topics addressed cover research in all aspects of parameterized/exact algorithms and complexity including but are not limited to new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms, fixed-parameter tractability results, parameterized complexity theory, relationship between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity classifications, applications of parameterized and exact computation, and implementation issues of parameterized and exact algorithms.
Preprocessing, or data reduction, is a standard technique for simplifying and speeding up computation. Written by a team of experts in the field, this book introduces a rapidly developing area of preprocessing analysis known as kernelization. The authors provide an overview of basic methods and important results, with accessible explanations of the most recent advances in the area, such as meta-kernelization, representative sets, polynomial lower bounds, and lossy kernelization. The text is divided into four parts, which cover the different theoretical aspects of the area: upper bounds, meta-theorems, lower bounds, and beyond kernelization. The methods are demonstrated through extensive examples using a single data set. Written to be self-contained, the book only requires a basic background in algorithmics and will be of use to professionals, researchers and graduate students in theoretical computer science, optimization, combinatorics, and related fields.
People, problems, and proofs are the lifeblood of theoretical computer science. Behind the computing devices and applications that have transformed our lives are clever algorithms, and for every worthwhile algorithm there is a problem that it solves and a proof that it works. Before this proof there was an open problem: can one create an efficient algorithm to solve the computational problem? And, finally, behind these questions are the people who are excited about these fundamental issues in our computational world. In this book the authors draw on their outstanding research and teaching experience to showcase some key people and ideas in the domain of theoretical computer science, particul...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS 2007, held in Ceský Krumlov, Czech Republic, August 2007. The 61 revised full papers presented together with the full papers or abstracts of five invited talks address all current aspects in theoretical computer science and its mathematical foundations.
ICALP 2009, the 36th edition of the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, was held on the island of Rhodes, July 6–10, 2009. ICALP is a series of annual conferences of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) which ?rst took place in 1972. This year, the ICALP program consisted of the established track A (focusing on algorithms, complexity and games) and track B (focusing on logic, automata, semantics and theory of programming), and of the recently introduced track C (in 2009 focusing on foundations of networked computation). In response to the call for papers, the Program Committee received 370 s- missions: 223 for track A, 84 for track B and 63 for track C. Out of these, 108 papers were selected for inclusion in the scienti?c program: 62 papers for track A, 24 for track B and 22 for track C. The selection was made by the Program Committees based on originality, quality, and relevance to theoretical computer science. The quality of the manuscripts was very high indeed, and many dese- ing papers could not be selected. ICALP 2009 consisted of ?ve invited lectures and the contributed papers.
This book constitutes the refereed best selected papers of the 4th International Workshop on Parameterized and Exact Computation, IWPEC 2009, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in September 2009. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The topics addressed cover research in all aspects of parameterized and exact computation and complexity, including but not limited to new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms, parameterized complexity theory, relationship between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity classifications, applications of parameterized and exact computation, implementation issues of parameterized and exact algorithms, high-performance computing and fixed-parameter tractability.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium Fundamentals of Computation Theory, FCT 2011, held in Oslo, Norway, in August 2011. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. FCT 2011 focused on algorithms, formal methods, and emerging fields, such as ad hoc, dynamic and evolving systems; algorithmic game theory; computational biology; foundations of cloud computing and ubiquitous systems; and quantum computation.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Scandinavian Workshop on Algorithm Theory, held in Bergen, Norway in June 2010.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in September 2011 in the context of the combined conference ALGO 2011. The 67 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 255 initial submissions: 55 out of 209 in track design and analysis and 12 out of 46 in track engineering and applications. The papers are organized in topical sections on approximation algorithms, computational geometry, game theory, graph algorithms, stable matchings and auctions, optimization, online algorithms, exponential-time algorithms, parameterized algorithms, scheduling, data structures, graphs and games, distributed computing and networking, strings and sorting, as well as local search and set systems.
This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 37th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science, WG 2011, held at Teplá Monastery, Czech Republic, in June 2011. The 28 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The workshop aims at merging theory and practice by demonstrating how concepts from graph theory can be applied to various areas in computer science, and by extracting new graph theoretic problems from applications.
