High-throughput sequencing and functional genomics technologies have given us the human genome sequence as well as those of other experimentally, medically, and agriculturally important species, and have enabled large-scale genotyping and gene expression profiling of human populations. Databases containing large numbers of sequences, polymorphisms, structures, and gene expression profiles of normal and diseased tissues are being rapidly generated for human and model organisms. Bioinformatics is thus rapidly growing in importance in the annotation of genomic sequences; the understanding of the...

Constitutes the proceedings of the 11th Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference, COCOON 2005, held in Kunming, China in August 2005. This title contains 96 revised papers presented together with abstracts of 3 invited talks which cover various aspects of theoretical computer science and combinatorics related to computing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications, COCOA 2016, held in Hong Kong, China, in December 2016.

The 60 full papers included in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from 122 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as graph theory, geometric optimization, complexity and data structure, combinatorial optimization, and miscellaneous.
