This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications, SISAP 2018, held in Lima, Peru, in October 2018.The 16 full papers presented together with 3 short papers and 1 demonstration paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The papers deal with issues surrounding the theory, design, analysis, practice, and application of content-based and feature-based similarity search. They are organized in the following topical sections: metric search; visual search; nearest neighbor queries; clustering and outlier detection; graphs and applications; and shared session SISAP and SPIRE.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications, SISAP 2024, held in Providence, RI, USA, during November 4–6, 2024. The 13 full papers, 7 short papers and 4 Indexing Challenge papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 2nd Atlantic Web Intelligence Conference(AWIC2004).TheconferencewasheldinthecityofCancun,Mexico, a setting that inspired lively discussions andre?ections onopen issues facing the ?eld of Web intelligence. TheAWICconferences havebeenmotivated by advancesinthe ?eld ofart- cialintelligenceandthechallengesfacingtheirapplicationtoWeb-basedsystems. With this second edition, AWIC provided a forum for specialists from di?erent disciplines of computer science to exchange their experiences and ideas in this growing ?eld of research. The selection of papers followed a strict, double-blind refereeing process by a renowned international committee. We received 57 contributions, with ?rst authors from 15 di?erent countries, from which 22 papers were selected to be presented and published in this proceedings volume. We thank all members of the Program Committee for their valuable reviews of the papers. In addition, we were pleased to have as invited speakers Dr. Prabhakar Raghavan, Chief Scientist and Vice President of Emerging Technologies in Verity, Inc. and Consulting Professor of Computer Science at Stanford Univ- sity, and Prof. C.Lee Giles, Davide Reese Professorof the School of Information Sciences and Technology at The Pennsylvania State University. Abstracts of their lectures are included in these proceedings. In putting together this conference, we had the pleasure of working with an outstanding group of people. We thank them all for their hard work on behalf of this conference. In particular we would like to thank Manuel Montes y Gomez, ' Director of the Mexico Research Centre of the Web Intelligence Consortium, Elisa Moran, Marcela Rodr' ?guez, and Jorge Niebla.

The 4th International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless (ADHOC- NOW 2005)was held October 6-8,2005in Cancun, Mexico. Adhoc Now started as a workshop in 2002 and was held at the Fields Institute in Toronto. In 2003, it was held in Montreal, and in 2004 it was held in Vancouver. 2005 was the ?rst yearfortheconferencetomoveoutsideofCanada.Thepurposeoftheconference is to create a collaborative forum between mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers for research in the ?eld of mobile ad hoc and sensor networks. In 2005, we received over 100 submissions from 22 di?erent countries: Australia,Canada,China,France,Germany,Greece,India,Ireland,Italy,Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, the UK, and the USA - a true international conference. Of the papers submitted, we selected 27 for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. We are grateful to our Technical Program, Organizing, and Steering C- mittees; without their help, expertise, and experiencewe could not haveselected such a ?ne program. We thank Jorge Urrutia of the Instituto de Matem' aticas, Universidad NacionalAut' onoma de M' exico,and J.J.Garcia-Luna-Acevesof the Computer Engineering Department, University of California, Santa Cruz for - cepting our invitation to speak at the conference. Special thanks are due to the crewfromtheFacultaddeCienciasF' ?sico-Matem' aticasUniversidadMichoacana for handling the local arrangements, and to the Mobile Adhoc Research Lab at Arizona State University for handling odd jobs on a moment's notice.

The refereed proceedings of the 14th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, CPM 2003, held in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico in June 2003. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are devoted to current theoretical and computational aspects of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns, such as trees, regular expressions, graphs, point sets, and arrays. Among the application fields addressed are computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, the Web, data compression, coding, multimedia, information retrieval, pattern recognition, and computer vision.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval, SPIRE 2010, held in Los Cabos, Mexico, in October 2010.The 26 long and 13 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. The volume also contains 2 invited talks. The papers are structured in topical sections on crowdsourcing and recommendation; indexes and compressed indexes; theory; string algorithms; compressions; querying and search user experience; document analysis and comparison; compressed indexes; and string matching.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval, SPIRE 2012, held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in October 2012. The 26 full papers, 13 short papers, and 3 keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The following topics are covered: fundamentals algorithms in string processing and information retrieval; SP and IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology, DNA sequencing, and Web mining.
