Inrecentyearstherehasbeena growinginterest in the two-dimensionalframework of parameterizedcomplexity, where, in addition to the overall input size, one also considers a parameter, with a focus on how these two dimensions interact in problem complexity. This book presents the proceedings of the 1st InternationalWorkshopon - rameterized and Exact Computation (IWPEC 2004, http: //www. iwpec. org), which took place in Bergen, Norway, on September 14 16, 2004.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Frontiers of Algorithmics Workshop, FAW 2013, and the 9th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2013, jointly held in Dalian, China, in June 2013.
The 33 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The Joint Conference provide a focused forum on current trends of research on algorithms, discrete structures, operation research, combinatorial optimization and their applications, and will bring...

This Festschrift is published in honor of Rodney G. Downey, eminent logician and computer scientist, surfer and Scottish country dancer, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
The Festschrift contains papers and laudations that showcase the broad and important scientific, leadership and mentoring contributions made by Rod during his distinguished career. The volume contains 42 papers presenting original unpublished research, or expository and survey results in Turing degrees, computably enumerable sets, computable algebra, computable model theory, algorithmic randomness, reverse...
