The papers contained in this volume were presented at the 4th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, held in Padova, Italy, in June 1993. Combinatorial pattern matching addresses issues of searching and matching of strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expressions and extended expressions. The goal is to derive non-trivial combinatorial properties for such structures and then to exploit these properties in order to achieve superior performance for the corresponding computational problems. The area is expected to grow further due to the increasing demand for...

This volume presents the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, CPM '95, held in Espoo, Finland in July 1995.
CPM addresses issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expressions, extended expressions, etc. The aim is to derive non-trivial combinatorial properties in order to improve the performance of the corresponding computational problems. This volume presents 27 selected refereed full research papers and two invited papers; it addresses all current aspects of CPM and its applications such as...
