The papers in this volume were presented at the 1st Scandinavian Workshop on Algorithm Theory held July 5-8, 1988 in Halmstad, Sweden. The contributions present original research in areas related to algorithm theory, including data structures, computational geometry, and computational complexity. In addition to the selected papers the proceedings include invited papers from I. Munro, K. Mehlhorn, M. Overmars, and D. Wood.

This volume presents papers from the 2nd Scandinavian Workshop on Algorithm Theory. The contributions describe original research on algorithms and data structures, in all areas, including combinatorics, computational geometry, parallel computing, and graph theory. The majority of the papers focus on the design and complexity analysis of: data structures, text algorithms, and sequential and parallel algorithms for graph problems and for geometric problems. Examples of tech- niques presented include: - efficient ways to find approximation algorithms for the maximum independent set problem and for graph coloring; - exact estimation of the expected search cost for skip lists; - construction of canonical representations of partial 2-trees and partial 3-trees in linear time; - efficient triangulation of planar point sets and convex polygons.

The International Colloquium on Automata, Languages andProgramming (ICALP) is an annual conference series sponsoredby the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science(EATCS). It is intended to cover all important areas oftheoretical computer science, such as: computability,automata,formal languages, term rewriting, analysis ofalgorithms, computational geometry, computationalcomplexity, symbolic and algebraic computation,cryptography, data types and data structures, theory ofdata bases and knowledge bases, semantics of programminglanguages, program specification, transformation andverification, foundations of logicprogramming, theory oflogical design and layout, parallel and distributedcomputation, theory of concurrency, and theory of robotics.This volume contains the proceedings of ICALP 93, held atLundUniversity, Sweden, in July 1993. It includes fiveinvited papers and 51 contributed papers selected from 151submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth Scandinavian Workshop on Algorithm Theory, SWAT '96, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in July 1996.The 35 full papers included in the book in revised version were carefully selected from a total of 95 submissions; also included are abstracts or full versions of three invited talks by prominent researchers. All in all, the collection of articles reports state-of-the-art results on various topics of current design and analysis of algorithms.
