About this title

Synopsis

The abstracts and papers in this volume were presented at the Fifth Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference (COCOON ’99), which was held in Tokyo, Japan from July 26 to 28, 1999. The topics cover most aspects of theoretical computer science and combinatorics pertaining to computing. In response to the call for papers, 88 high-quality extended abstracts were submitted internationally, of which 46 were selected for presentation by the p- gram committee. Every submitted paper was reviewed by at least three program committee members. Many of these papers represent reports on continuing - search, and it is expected that most of them will appear in a more polished and complete form in scienti c journals. In addition to the regular papers, this v- ume contains abstracts of two invited plenary talks by Prabhakar Raghavan and Seinosuke Toda. The conference also included a special talk by Kurt Mehlhorn on LEDA (Library of E cient Data types and Algorithms). The Hao Wang Award (inaugurated at COCOON ’97) is given to honor the paper judged by the program committee to have the greatest scienti c merit. The recipients of the Hao Wang Award 1999 were Hiroshi Nagamochi and Tos- hide Ibaraki for their paper \An Approximation for Finding a Smallest 2-Edge- Connected Subgraph Containing a Speci ed Spanning Tree".

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th Annual International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics, COCOON'99, held in Tokyo, Japan in July 1999. The 46 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 88 submissions; also included are two invited survey papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on data structures, computational biology, graph drawing, discrete mathematics, graph algorithms, automata and languages, complexity theory and learning, combinatorial optimization, number theory, distributed computing, network routing, computational geometry, online algorithms, rewriting systems, and parallel computing.
