The 16th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching was held on Jeju Island, Korea on June 19-22, 2005. Previous meetings were held in Paris, London, Tucson, Padova, Asilomar, Helsinki, Laguna Beach, Aarhus, Piscataway,Warwick,Montreal,Jerusalem,Fukuoka, Morelia,and Istanbul over the years 1990-2004. In response to the call for papers, CPM 2005 received a record number of 129papers.Eachsubmissionwasreviewedbyatleast threeProgramCommittee members with the assistance of external referees. Since there were many hi- quality papers, the Program Committee's task was extremely di?cult. Through an extensive discussion the Program Committee accepted 37 of the submissions tobepresentedattheconference.Theyconstituteoriginalresearchcontributions in combinatorial pattern matching and its applications. Inadditiontotheselectedpapers,CPM2005hadthreeinvitedpresentations, by Esko Ukkonen from the University of Helsinki, Ming Li from the University of Waterloo, and Naftali Tishby from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.We would like to thank all Program Committee members and external r- erees for their excellent work, especially given the demanding time constraints; they gave the conference its distinctive character. We also thank all who s- mitted papers for consideration; they all contributed to the high quality of the conference. Finally, we thank the Organizing Committee members and the graduates- dents who worked hard to put in place the logistical arrangements of the c- ference. It is their dedicated contribution that made the conference possible and enjoyable.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 21st Annual International S- posium on Algorithms and Computations (ISAAC 2010), held in Jeju, Korea during December 15-17, 2010. Past editions have been held in Tokyo, Taipei, Nagoya,HongKong,Beijing,Cairns,Osaka,Singapore,Taejon,Chennai,Taipei, Christchurch, Vancouver, Kyoto, Hong Kong, Hainan, Kolkata, Sendai, Gold Coast, and Hawaii over the years 1990-2009. ISAACis anannualinternationalsymposiumthatcoversthe verywide range of topics in algorithms and computation. The main purpose of the symposium is to provide a forum for researchers working in algorithms and the theory of computation where they can exchange ideas in this active research community. In response to the call for papers, ISAAC 2010 received 182 papers. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members with the assistance of external referees. Since there were many high-quality papers, the Program Committee's task was extremely di?cult. Through an extensive discussion, the Program Committee accepted 77 of the submissions to be p- sented at the conference.Two special issues, one of Algorithmica and one of the International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications,were prepared with selected papers from ISAAC 2010. The best paper award was given to "From Holant to #CSP and Back: c DichotomyforHolant Problems"byJin-YiCai,SangxiaHuangandPinyanLu, and the best student paper award to "Satis?ability with Index Dependency" by Hongyu Liang and Jing He. Two eminent invited speakers,David Eppstein from UniversityofCalifornia,Irvine,andMattFranklinfromUniversityofCalifornia, Davis, also contributed to this volume.
