This text contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Algorithms and Computation, held in New Zealand in 2001. Topics covered include combinatorial generation and optimization, parallel and distributed algorithms, graph drawing and algorithms, and computational geometry. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume contains the proceedings of the Twelfth Annual International S- posiumonAlgorithmsandComputation(ISAAC2001),heldinChristchurch, NewZealand,19-21December2001. Inthepast,ithasbeenheldinTokyo(1990), Taipei(1991),Nagoya(1992),HongKong(1994),Cairnes(1995),Osaka(1996), Singapore(1997),Taejon,Korea(1998),Madras(1999),andTaipei(2000). Since thethirdinNagoya,theproceedingshavebeenpublishedinSpringer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. AlthoughthesymposiumrotatesmainlyintheAsia/Paci?cregion,ther- ereeingprocesswasconductedinternationally,andresearchersgatheredfrom allovertheworld. Wereceived124submissionsfrom32countries,ofwhich 62 papers were accepted for presentation at the symposium. The papers of three invited speakers are also included. Submission was conducted electro- cally by CyberChair generously o?ered by the University of Twente. Each paper was reviewed by three or four referees with the assistance of external referees, whose names are listed overleaf. Discussions on how to select papers were also conducted electronically over more than a week. Due to the large number of submittedpapers,thereviewingprocesswasquitechallengingfortheprogram committee.There were many acceptable papers which we could not accom- date into the time frame of the three-day symposium. The best paper award was given to "Computing the Quartet Distance between Evolutionary Trees in Time 2 O(nlog n)"byGerthStoltingBrodal,RolfFagerberg,andChristianNorgaard Storm Pedersen. We hope all accepted papers will eventually appear in scienti?c journals in a more polished form.
