TheFuture of Sports is a visionary and criticallyreflective book about the profound changes that are transforming sport,technologically, socially, ecologically, and economically. It explains howartificial intelligence is redefining training logic; how genetic analysis andbiohacking are shaping the athletes of the future; and why climate change isrobbing sport of its old certainties. Instead of providing ready-madesolutions, the book raises uncomfortable questions: Who will control athletes’bodies tomorrow? What does performance mean in a world of optimisation? And howcan sport remain human when everything becomes measurable by machine? TheFuture of Sports is not science fiction, but rather it is an intelligentand thought-provoking look at a possible future that has long since become areality.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS 2004, held in Prague, Czech Republic in August 2004. The 60 revised full papers presented together with full papers or abstracts of 10 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 167 submissions. The papers are organised in topical sections on graph algorithms, approximation, graphs and complexity, circuits, general complexity, automata, parameterized and kolmogrov complexity, semantics, scheduling, algebraic theory of languages, games, languages, geometry, languages and complexity, quantum computing, and XML.

The book offers the readers a collection of high quality papers in selected topics of Discrete Mathematics, to celebrate the 60th birthday ofProfessor Jarik Nešetril. Leading experts have contributed survey and research papers in the areas of Algebraic Combinatorics, Combinatorial Number Theory, Game theory, Ramsey Theory, Graphs and Hypergraphs,Homomorphisms, Graph Colorings and Graph Embeddings.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD '99, held in Stirin Castle, Czech Republic, in September 1999.The 38 revised full papers presented together with three invited contributions, two posters, and a report on the graph drawing contest were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. Among the topics addressed are orthogonality, levels, clusters, drawing, planarity, applications, symmetry, representations, and proximity and trees.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 20th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms, held in June/July 2009 in the castle of Hradec nad Moravicí, Czech Republic. The 41 papers included in this volume together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions. The topics dealt with are algorithms and data structures, applications, combinatorial enumeration, combinatorial optimization, complexity theory, computational biology, databases, decompositions and combinatorial designs, discrete and computational geometry, including graph drawing, and graph theory and combinatorics.

The 7th Annual Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Compu- tion was held during June 7-11, 2010 in Prague. After six successful conferences held in 2004-2009 in China (Beijing, Kunming, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and ChangSha) TAMC left Asia for the ?rst time, aiming at the "heart of Europe. " Changingthegeographicallocationdidnotbringanychangestothescopeofthe conference. Its three main themes continued to be Computability, Complexity, and Algorithms. The conference aims to bring together researchersfrom all over the world with interests in theoretical computer science, algorithmic mathem- ics,andapplicationsto thephysicalsciences. Thisyearwesawmoreparticipants from Europe and the Americas, but we were very happy that we could also w- come to Prague traditional participants from Asia (China, Japan, and India) to continue enhancing the collaboration among the theoretical computer science communities of these continents. After hard work the Program Committee decided to accept 35 papers out of 76 submitted to TAMC 2010. Each submission was reviewed by at least three, Program Committee members. All actions of the Program Committee were - ordinated via ?awlessly and e?ciently running EasyChair.We congratulate the authors of accepted contributions and thank all authors who submitted their papers. They all contributed to a successful event. We extend our thanks to the distinguished plenary speakers who accepted our invitation to deliver plenary talks - John Hopcroft from Cornell University and Shang-Hua Teng from University of Southern California. Their talks "New Research Directions in the Information Age" and "The Laplacian Paradigm: Emerging Algorithms for Massive Graph" were highlights of the conference.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 37th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science, WG 2011, held at Teplá Monastery, Czech Republic, in June 2011.The 28 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The workshop aims at merging theory and practice by demonstrating how concepts from graph theory can be applied to various areas in computer science, and by extracting new graph theoretic problems from applications.
