Opis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, held in February 2006. The 54 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 283 submissions. The papers address the whole range of theoretical computer science including algorithms and data structures, automata and formal languages, complexity theory, semantics, and logic in computer science.
