Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the p- motion and the advancement of all aspects of parallel computing. In Euro-Par, the ?eld of parallel computing is divided into the four broad categories of t- ory, high performance, cluster and grid, and distributed and mobile computing. These categories are further subdivided into 14 topics that focus on particular areas in parallel computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum for promoting the development of parallel computing both as an industrial te- nique and as an academic discipline, extending the...

First established in 1993 with a conference in Elba, Italy, COSIT (the International C- ference on Spatial Information Theory) is widely acknowledged as one of the most - portant conferences for the field of spatial information theory. This conference series brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines for intensive scientific - changes centered on spatial information theory. COSIT submissions typically address research questions drawn from cognitive, perceptual, and environmental psychology, geography, spatial information science, computer science, artificial intelligence,...

The 34th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS2009, washeld in Novy Smokovec, High Tatras(Slovakia)during August 24-28, 2009. This volume contains 7 invited and 56 contributed papers presented at the symposium. The contributed papers were selected by the P- gram Committee out of a total of 148 submissions. MFCS 2009 was organized by the Slovak Society for Computer Science and the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of the Comenius Univ- sity in Bratislava. It wassupported by the EuropeanAssociation for Theoretical Computer Science. We...

This volume contains the papers presented at the 16th International Sym- sium on String Processing and Information Retrieval (SPIRE 2009), held during August 25-27, 2009 in Saariselk] a, Finland. The annual SPIRE conference provides researchers within ?elds related to string processing and/or information retrieval a possibility to present their or- inal contributions and to meet and discuss with other researchers with similar interests. The Call for Papers invited submissions related to string processing (dictionary algorithms; text searching; pattern matching; text and sequence c- pression;...

Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms are established tools for the solution of computationally hard problems arising in computer science, business adm- istration, engineering, biology, and various other disciplines. To a large extent, their success is due to their conceptual simplicity, broad applicability and high performance for many important problems studied in academia and enco- tered in real-world applications. SLS methods include a wide spectrum of te- niques, ranging from constructive search procedures and iterative improvement algorithms to more complex SLS methods, such as ant...

The 8th International Conference on Unconventional Computation, UC 2009, was held in Ponta Delgada during September 7-11,2009, and was organized - der the auspices of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) bythe Universityof Azores(Ponta Delgada, Portugal)and the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (Auckland, New Zealand). The venue was the University of Azores, with its modern and well-equipped auditoria, next to the magni?cent rectory, and surrounded by a pleasant and peaceful garden. The university is located in the city of Ponta...

CALCO, the Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining CMCS (the International WorkshoponCoalgebraicMethodsinComputerScience)andWADT(theWo- shoponAlgebraicDevelopmentTechniques).CALCObringstogetherresearchers and practitioners to exchange new results related to foundational aspects and both traditional and emerging uses of algebras and coalgebras in computer s- ence. The study of algebra and coalgebra relates to the data, process and str- tural aspects of software systems. CALCO is supervised by the Steering C- mittee,...

correctingcodes, average-caseanalysis, propertytesting, computationallearning theory, and other applications of approximation and randomness. The volume contains 25 contributed papers, selected by the APPROX Program Committee out of 56 submissions, and 28 contributed papers, selected by the RANDOM Program Committee out of 57 submissio

th This volume contains the papers presented at the 8 International Conference on - vanced Parallel Processing Technologies, APPT 2009. This series of conferences originated from collaborations between researchers from China and Germany and has evolved into an international conference for reporting advances in parallel processing technologies. APPT 2009 addressed the entire gamut of related topics, ranging from the architectural aspects of parallel computer hardware and system software to the applied technologies for novel applications. For this conference, we received over 76 full...

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 13th IMA C- ference on the Mathematics of Surfaces, held at the University of York, UK September 7-9, 2009. Contributors to this volume include authors from many countries in America, Asia, and Europe. The papers presented here re?ect the applicability of mathematics of surfaces to engineering and computer science, especially in domains such as computer-aided design, computer vision, and c- puter graphics. The papers in the present volume include seven invited papers, as well as a larger number of submitted papers. They cover a...
