This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, ISAAC 2006, held in Kolkata, India, December 2006. The 73 revised full papers cover algorithms and data structures, online algorithms, approximation algorithm, computational geometry, computational complexity, optimization and biology, combinatorial optimization and quantum computing, as well as distributed computing and cryptography.
This volume is dedicated to the 15th Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory FCT 2005, held in Lubeck, Germany, on August 17–20, 2005.
A large class of problems in symbolic computation can be expressed as the task of computing some polynomials; and arithmetic circuits form the most standard model for studying the complexity of such computations. This algebraic model of computation attracted a large amount of research in the last five decades, partially due to its simplicity and elegance. Being a more structured model than Boolean circuits, one could hope that the fundamental problems of theoretical computer science, such as separating P from NP, will be easier to solve for arithmetic circuits. However, in spite of the appearing simplicity and the vast amount of mathematical tools available, no major breakthrough has been se...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Algorithms and Computation, ISAAC 2001, held in Christchurch, New Zealand in December 2001. The 62 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 124 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on combinatorial generation and optimization, parallel and distributed algorithms, graph drawing and algorithms, computational geometry, computational complexity and cryptology, automata and formal languages, computational biology and string matching, and algorithms and data structures.
Modern cryptology increasingly employs mathematically rigorous concepts and methods from complexity theory. Conversely, current research topics in complexity theory are often motivated by questions and problems from cryptology. This book takes account of this situation, and therefore its subject is what may be dubbed "cryptocomplexity'', a kind of symbiosis of these two areas. This book is written for undergraduate and graduate students of computer science, mathematics, and engineering, and can be used for courses on complexity theory and cryptology, preferably by stressing their interrelation. Moreover, it may serve as a valuable source for researchers, teachers, and practitioners working in these fields. Starting from scratch, it works its way to the frontiers of current research in these fields and provides a detailed overview of their history and their current research topics and challenges.
This two volume set LNCS 9234 and 9235 constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 40th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS 2015, held in Milan, Italy, in August 2015. The 82 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully selected from 201 submissions. The papers feature high-quality research in all branches of theoretical computer science. They have been organized in the following topical main sections: logic, semantics, automata, and theory of programming (volume 1) and algorithms, complexity, and games (volume 2).
The scientific developments at the end of the past millennium were dominated by the huge increase and diversity of disciplines with the common label “computer science”. The theoretical foundations of such disciplines have become known as theoretical computer science. This book highlights some key issues of theoretical computer science as they seem to us now, at the beginning of the new millennium.The text is based on columns and tutorials published in the Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science in the period 1995-2000. The columnists themselves selected the material they wanted for the book, and the editors had a chance to update their work. Indeed, much of the material presented here appears in a form quite different from the original. Since the presentation of most of the articles is reader-friendly and does not presuppose much knowledge of the area, the book constitutes suitable supplementary reading material for various courses in computer science.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference, COCOON 2004, held in Jeju Island, Korea, in August 2004. The 46 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on data structures and algorithms, computational geometry, games and combinatorics, combinatorial optimization, graph algorithms, automata and learning theory, scheduling, graph drawing, complexity theory, parallel and distributed architectures, and computational biology.
