Call for Papers

  The importance of combinatorial algorithms has long been shown in
  engineering and scientific computing. With the demands of new
  applications and advance in technology, combinatorial algorithms
  will continue to play an important role in the emerging areas such
  as scientific data mining and computational biology. For example in
  building a search engine and in finding motif in DNA sequences,
  these problems involve a huge amount of data and demand highly
  efficient algorithms. New techniques on algorithm design and
  analysis must be developed to cope with the new challenges.

  This special issue of the MSC journal will be devoted to the design
  and analysis of combinatorial algorithms. It is open to submission
  of papers from any authors. However, it may also contain some
  selected papers presented during the London Algorithmic Workshop
  (LAW) 2007 held in King's College London, UK.

Topics

  The key topics include, but are not limited to :
    - Coding and data compression
    - Combinatorial optimization
    - Complexity theory
    - Discrete mathematics
    - Online and approximation algorithms
    - Pattern matching
    - String processing and sequence analysis

Submission Guidelines

  Papers can be submitted to the guest editors.

  Electronic submissions are encouraged. The message should contain
  (i) the abstract in ASCII and (ii) the whole paper in Postscript
  or PDF. Alternatively, authors can submit 6 hard copies by post.

  All submitted papers will be refereed according to the usual
  refereeing process.

Important Dates

  Deadline of submission: 22 March 2007
  Notification of acceptance/rejection: 22 June 2007
