This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 2004, held in Montpellier, France, in March 2004. The 54 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 200 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on structural complexity, graph algorithms, quantum computing, satisfiability - constraint satisfaction problems, scheduling, algorithms, networks, automata theory and words, path algorithms, cryptography, logic and formal languages, game theory and complexity, and algorithmic information.

ICALP 2008, the 35th edition of the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, July 7–11, 2008. ICALP is a series of annual conferences of the European Association for Th- reticalComputer Science(EATCS) which ?rsttook placein 1972.This year,the ICALP program consisted of the established Track A (focusing on algorithms, automata,complexityandgames)andTrackB(focusing onlogic,semanticsand theory of programming), and of the recently introduced Track C (focusing on security and cryptography foundations). In response to the call for papers, the Program Committees received 477 submissions, the highest ever: 269 for Track A, 122 for TrackB and 86 for Track C. Out of these, 126 papers were selected for inclusion in the scienti?c program: 70 papers for Track A, 32 for Track B and 24 for Track C. The selection was made by the Program Committees based on originality, quality, and relevance to theoretical computer science. The quality of the manuscripts was very high indeed, and many deserving papers could not be selected. ICALP 2008 consisted of ?ve invited lectures and the contributed papers.

RANDOM is concerned with applications of randomness to computational and combinatorial problems, and was the 13th workshop in the series following Bologna (1997), Barcelona (1998),Berkeley(1999),Geneva(2000),Berkeley(2001),Harvard(2002),Prin- ton (2003), Cambridge (2004), Berkeley (2005), Barcelona (2006), Princeton (2007), and Boston (2008).

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications, LATA 2021, held in Milan, Italy, in March 2021. The 26 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: algebraic structures; automata; complexity; learning; logics and languages; trees and graphs; and words and strings.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Model Checking and Artificial Intelligence, MOCHART 2008, held in Patras, Greece, in July 2008 as a satellite event of ECAI 2008, the 18th biannual European conference on Artificial Intelligence. The 9 revised full workshop papers presented together with 2 invited lectures have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The workshop covers all ideas, research, experiments and tools that relate to both MC and AI fields.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2008, held in Karlsruhe, Germany, in September 2008 in the context of the combined conference ALGO 2008. The 67 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected: 51 papers out of 147 submissions for the design and analysis track and 16 out of 53 submissions in the engineering and applications track. The papers address all current subjects in algorithmics reaching from design and analysis issues of algorithms over to real-world applications and engineering of algorithms in various fields. Special focus is given to mathematical programming and operations research, including combinatorial optimization, integer programming, polyhedral combinatorics and network optimization.
