ThisvolumecontainsallthepaperspresentedattheInternationalConferenceon Algorithmic Learning Theory 1999 (ALT'99), held at Waseda University Int- nationalConferenceCenter,Tokyo,Japan,December 6?8,1999.Theconference was sponsored by the Japanese Society for Arti cial Intelligence (JSAI). In response to the call for papers, 51 papers on all aspects of algorithmic learning theory and related areas were submitted, of which 26 papers were - lected for presentation by the program committee based on their originality, quality, and relevance to the theory of machine learning. In addition to these regular papers, this volume contains three papers of invited lectures presented byKatharinaMorikoftheUniversityofDortmund,RobertE.SchapireofAT&T Labs, Shannon Lab., and Kenji Yamanishi of NEC, C&C Media Research Lab. ALT'99 is not just one of the ALT conference series, but this conference marks the tenth anniversary in the series that was launched in Tokyo, in Oc- ber 1990, for the discussion of research topics on all areas related to algorithmic learning theory.The ALT series was renamedlast year from\ALT workshop"to \ALT conference",expressing its wider goalof providing an ideal forum to bring together researchers from both theoretical and practical learning communities, producing novel concepts and criteria that would bene t both. This movement wasre?ectedinthepaperspresentedatALT'99,wheretherewereseveralpapers motivated by application oriented problems such as noise, data precision, etc. Furthermore, ALT'99 benet ed from being held jointly with the 2nd Inter- tional Conference on Discovery Science (DS'99), the conference for discussing, among other things, more applied aspects of machine learning. Also, we could celebrate the tenth anniversary of the ALT series with researchers from both theoretical and practical communities.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference IFIP TCS 2000 held in Sendai, Japan in August 2000.The 32 revised full papers presented together with nine invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 70 submissions. The papers are organized in two tracks on algorithms, complexity, and models of computation and on logics, semantics, specification, and verification. The book is devoted to exploring new frontiers of theoretical informatics and addresses all current topics in theoretical computer science.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms, Foundations and Applications, SAGA 2009, held in Sapporo, Japan, in October 2009. The 15 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on learning, graphs, testing, optimization and caching, as well as stochastic algorithms in bioinformatics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, ISAAC 2011, held in Yokohama, Japan in December 2011. The 76 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 187 submissions for inclusion in the book. This volume contains topics such as approximation algorithms; computational geometry; computational biology; computational complexity; data structures; distributed systems; graph algorithms; graph drawing and information visualization; optimization; online and streaming algorithms; parallel and external memory algorithms; parameterized algorithms; game theory and internet algorithms; randomized algorithms; and string algorithms.
