 =09=09=09=09=09-----

The third International Workshop on Algorithms and Computation (WALCOM 2009
) 
will take place in Kolkata, India, during February 18-20, 2009. The worksho
p is 
intended to provide a forum for researchers working in algorithms and theor
y of 
computation. Papers presenting original research in the areas of design and
 
analysis of algorithms, computational geometry,
graph drawing and graph algorithms are sought. The topics include but are n
ot 
limited to:

 =09algorithms and data structures
 =09approximation algorithms
 =09combinatorial algorithms
 =09computational biology
 =09computational geometry
 =09experimental algorithm methodologies
 =09graph drawing and graph algorithms
 =09parallel and distributed algorithms
 =09quantum computing
 =09randomized algorithms



The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag
in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
