High-throughput sequencing and functional genomics technologies have given us the human genome sequence as well as those of other experimentally, medically, and agriculturally important species, and have enabled large-scale genotyping and gene expression profiling of human populations. Databases containing large numbers of sequences, polymorphisms, structures, and gene expression profiles of normal and diseased tissues are being rapidly generated for human and model organisms. Bioinformatics is thus rapidly growing in importance in the annotation of genomic sequences; the understanding of the interplay among and between genes and proteins; the analysis of genetic variability of species; the identification of pharmacological targets; and the inference of evolutionary origins, mechanisms, and relationships. This proceedings volume contains an up-to-date exchange of knowledge, ideas, and solutions to conceptual and practical issues of bioinformatics by researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners at the 5th Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference held in Hong Kong in January 2007.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications, COCOA 2016, held in Hong Kong, China, in December 2016. The 60 full papers included in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from 122 submissions.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics, COCOON 2018, held in Qing Dao, China, in July 2018. They deal with the areas of algorithms, theory of computation, computational complexity, and combinatorics related to computing.

The papers in this volume were presented at the Eleventh Annual International ComputingandCombinatorics Conference(COCOON2005),heldAugust16-19, 2005,in Kunming, China. The topicscovermost aspects oftheoreticalcomputer science and combinatorics related to computing. Submissionstotheconferencethisyearwereconductedelectronically.Atotal of 353 papers were submitted, of which 96 were accepted. So the competition is very ?erce. The papers were evaluated by an international program committee consisting of Tatsuya Akutsu, Vineet Bafna, Zhi-Zhong Chen, Siu-Wing Cheng, Francis Chin, Sunghee Choi, Bhaskar DasGupta, Qizhi Fang, Martin Farach- Colton, Ra?aele Giancarlo, Mordecai Golin, Peter Hammer, Tsan-sheng Hsu, Sorin C. Istrail, Samir Khuller, Michael A. Langston, Jianping Li, Weifa Liang, GuohuiLin, BernardMans,SatoruMiyano,C.K.Poon,R.Ravi,DavidSanko?, Shang-Hua Teng, H. F. Ting, Seinosuke Toda, Takeshi Tokuyama, Peng-Jun Wan, Lusheng Wang, Todd Wareham, Jinhui Xu, Xizhong Zheng, Kaizhong Zhang and Binhai Zhu. The authors of submitted papers came from more than 25 countries and regions.In addition to the selected papers, the conference also included three invited presentations by Alberto Apostolico, Shang-Hua Teng, and Leslie G. Valiant. This year's Wang Hao Award (for young researchers) was given to the paperApproximatingtheLongestCycle Problem onGraphs with BoundedDegree by Guantao Chen, Zhicheng Gao, Xingxing Yu and Wenan Zang. I would like to thank all the people who made this meeting possible and - joyable:the authors for submitting papers and the programcommittee members andexternalrefereesfor their excellentwork.I wouldalsoliketo thank thethree invited speakers and the local organizers and colleagues for their assistance.
