This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2014, held in Takayama, Japan, in July 2014. The 24 full papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. The focus of the colloquium is on following subjects Shared Memory and Multiparty Communication, Network Optimization, CONGEST Algorithms and Lower Bounds, Wireless networks, Aggregation and Creation Games in Networks, Patrolling and Barrier Coverage, Exploration, Rendevous and Mobile Agents.

The papers in this volume were presented at SWAT 2000, the Seventh Scandi- vian Workshop on Algorithm Theory. The workshop, which is really a conference, has been held biennially since 1988, rotating between the ve Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland). It also has a loose assoc- tion with the WADS (Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures) conference that is held in odd numbered years. SWAT is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms. The SWAT conferences are co- dinated by the SWAT steering committee, which consists of B. Aspvall (Bergen), S. Carlsson (Lule a), H. Hafsteinsson (U. Iceland), R. Karlsson (Lund), A. Lingas (Lund), E. Schmidt (Aarhus), and E. Ukkonen (Helsinki). The call for papers sought contributions in all areas of algorithms and data structures, including computational geometry, parallel and distributed comp- ing, graph theory, and computational biology. A total of 105 papers were s- mitted, out of which the program committee selected 43 for presentation. In addition, invited lectures were presented by Uriel Feige (Weizmann), Mikkel Thorup (AT&T Labs-Research), and Esko Ukkonen (Helsinki).SWAT 2000 was held in Bergen, July 5-7, 2000, and was locally organized by a committee consisting of Pinar Heggernes, Petter Kristiansen, Fredrik Manne, and Jan Arne Telle (chair), all from the department of informatics, University of Bergen.

The two-volume set LNCS 5125 and LNCS 5126 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 35th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2008, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in July 2008. The 126 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 407 submissions. The papers are grouped in three major tracks on algorithms, automata, complexity and games, on logic, semantics, and theory of programming, and on security and cryptography foundations. LNCS 5126 contains 56 contributions of track B and track C selected from 208 submissions and 2 invited lectures. The papers for track B are organized in topical sections on bounds, distributed computation, real-time and probabilistic systems, logic and complexity, words and trees, nonstandard models of computation, reasoning about computation, and verification. The papers of track C cover topics in security and cryptography such as theory, secure computation, two-party protocols and zero-knowledge, encryption with special properties/quantum cryptography, various types of hashing, as well as public-key cryptography and authentication.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in September 2011 in the context of the combined conference ALGO 2011.The 67 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 255 initial submissions: 55 out of 209 in track design and analysis and 12 out of 46 in track engineering and applications. The papers are organized in topical sections on approximation algorithms, computational geometry, game theory, graph algorithms, stable matchings and auctions, optimization, online algorithms, exponential-time algorithms, parameterized algorithms, scheduling, data structures, graphs and games, distributed computing and networking, strings and sorting, as well as local search and set systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2012, held in Reykjavik, Iceland for 3 days starting June 30, 2012. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. SIROCCO is devoted to the study of communication and knowledge in distributed systems. Special emphasis is given to innovative approaches and fundamental understanding, in addition to efforts to optimize current designs. The typical areas include distributed computing, communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social networks, mobile computing (including autonomous robots), peer to peer systems, communication complexity, fault tolerant graph theories, and randomized/probabilistic issues in networks.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Algorithms for Sensor Systems, Wireless Ad Hoc Networks, and Autonomous Mobile Entities, ALGOSENSORS 2012, held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in September 2012. The 11 revised full papers presented together with two invited keynote talks and two brief announcements were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The papers are organized in two tracks: sensor networks - covering topics such as barrier resilience, localization, connectivity with directional antennas, broadcast scheduling, and data aggregation; and ad hoc wireless and mobile systems - covering topics such as: SINR model; geometric routing; cognitive radio networks; video delivery; and mapping polygons.

The two-volume set LNCS 9134 and LNCS 9135 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 42nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2015, held in Kyoto, Japan, in July 2015. The papers are organized in the following three tracks: algorithms, complexity, and games;
