This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 11th annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS '94), held in Caen, France, February 24-26, 1994. Besides three prominent invited papers, the proceedings contains 60 accepted contributions chosen by the international program committee during a highly competitive reviewing process from a total of 234 submissions for 38 countries. The volume competently represents most areas of theoretical computer science with a certain emphasis on (parallel) algorithms and complexity.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 96, held in Grenoble, France in February 1996. The 52 revised papers presented were selected from a total of 185 submissions; also included are three invited papers. The volume addresses all current aspects of theoretical computer science and is organized in sections on complexity theory, automata theory, parallel algorithms, learning, parallel and distributed systems, cryptography, logic and database theory, algorithms, semantics and program verification, and communication complexity.

This book presents the proceedings of the 12th Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 95), held in Munich, Germany in March 1995. Besides three invited talks, the book contains revised versions of 53 research papers selected from a total of 180 submissions. The contributions address all current aspects of theoretical computer science; they are organized in sections on complexity theory, automata theory, algorithms, logic, theory of parallel computing, communication theory, graph theory and databases, and computational geometry.

Annotation High-performance computing and networking (HPCN) is driven by several initiatives in Europe, the United States, and Japan. In Europe several groups encouraged the Commission of the European Communities to start an HPCN programme. This two-volume work presents the proceedings of HPCN Europe 1994. Volume 1 includes sections on: keynote talks, HPCN and visualization in industry, algorithms for engineering applications, electrical computer-aided engineering, computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, materials science, weather simulations, environmental applications and climate, high-energy physics and astrophysics, neuroscience and neural networks, and database applications.

Volume 2 includes sections on: networking, future European cooperative working possibilities in industry and research, HPCN computer centers aspects, performance evaluation and benchmarking, numerical algorithms for engineering, domain decomposition in engineering, parallel programming environments, load balancing and performance optimization, monitoring, debugging, and fault tolerance, programming languages in HPC, compilers and data parallel structures, architectural aspects, and late papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Algebraic and Logic Programming, ALP '97 and the 3rd International Workshop on Higher-Order Algebra, Logic and Term Rewriting, HOA '97, held jointly in Southampton, UK, in September 1997. The 18 revised full papers presented in the book were selected from 31 submissions. The volume is divided in sections on functional and logic programming, higher-order methods, term rewriting, types, lambda-calculus, and theorem proving methods.

This volume contains the papers presented at the 13th Annual Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory (ALT 2002), which was held in Lub ̈ eck (Germany) during November 24–26, 2002. The main objective of the conference was to p- vide an interdisciplinary forum discussing the theoretical foundations of machine learning as well as their relevance to practical applications. The conference was colocated with the Fifth International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2002). The volume includes 26 technical contributions which were selected by the program committee from 49 submissions. It also contains the ALT 2002 invited talks presented by Susumu Hayashi (Kobe University, Japan) on “Mathematics Based on Learning”, by John Shawe-Taylor (Royal Holloway University of L- don, UK) on “On the Eigenspectrum of the Gram Matrix and Its Relationship to the Operator Eigenspectrum”, and by Ian H. Witten (University of Waikato, New Zealand) on “Learning Structure from Sequences, with Applications in a Digital Library” (joint invited talk with DS 2002). Furthermore, this volume - cludes abstracts of the invited talks for DS 2002 presented by Gerhard Widmer (Austrian Research Institute for Arti?cial Intelligence, Vienna) on “In Search of the Horowitz Factor: Interim Report on a Musical Discovery Project” and by Rudolf Kruse (University of Magdeburg, Germany) on “Data Mining with Graphical Models”. The complete versions of these papers are published in the DS 2002 proceedings (Lecture Notes in Arti?cial Intelligence, Vol. 2534). ALT has been awarding the E.
