The papers contained in this volume were presented at the 12th Annual S- posium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, held July 1{4, 2001 at the Dan Panorama Hotel in Jerusalem, Israel. They were selected from 35 abstracts s- mitted inresponse to the call for papers. In addition,there were invited lectures by Aviezri Fraenkel (Weizmann Institute of Science), Zvi Galil (Columbia), Rao Kosaraju (Johns Hopkins University), and Uzi Vishkin(Technion and U. Ma- land). This year the call for papers invited short (poster) presentations. They also appear in the proceedings. Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM) addresses issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expr- sions,graphs,pointsets, andarrays,invariousformats.Thegoalistoderiven- trivialcombinatorialproperties ofsuchstructures andtoexploitthese properties in order to achieve superior performance for the corresponding computational problems. On the other hand, an important aim is to analyze and pinpoint the properties and conditions under which searches can not be performed e ciently. Overthepastdecadeasteady ?owofhighqualityresearch onthissubject has changed a sparse set of isolated results into a full-?edged area of algorithmics. This area is continuing to grow even further due to the increasing demand for speed and e ciency that stems from important applications such as the World Wide Web, computational biology, computer vision, and multimedia systems. These involverequirements forinformationretrieval inheterogeneous databases, data compression, and pattern recognition. The objective of the annual CPM gathering is to provide an international forum for the presentation of research results in combinatorial pattern matching and related applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval, SPIRE 2008, held in Melbourne, Australia, in November 2008. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on compression and performance, information retrieval scoring and ranking, string matching techniques, self-indexing, string matching: space and practicality, information retrieval, non-standard matching, and bioinformatics.

The papers contained in this volume were presented at the 21st Annual S- posium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2010) held at NYU-Poly, Brooklyn, New York during June 21-23, 2010. Allthe paperspresentedatthe conferenceareoriginalresearchcontributions. We received 53 submissions from 21 countries. Each paper was reviewed by at least three reviewers. The committee decided to accept 28 papers. The program also includes three invited talks by Zvi Galil from Tel Aviv University, Israel, Richard M. Karp from University of California at Berkeley, USA, and Je?rey S. Vitter from Texas A&M University, USA. The objective of the annual CPM meetings is to provide an international forum for research in combinatorial pattern matching and related applications. It addresses issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated p- terns such as trees, regular expressions, graphs, point sets, and arrays. The goal is to derive non-trivialcombinatorialproperties of suchstructures and to exploit these properties in order to either achieve superior performance for the cor- sponding computational problems or pinpoint conditions under which searches cannot be performed e?ciently.The meeting also deals with problems in c- putational biology, data compression and data mining, coding, information - trieval, natural language processing and pattern recognition.
