This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Frontiers of Algorithmics Workshop, FAW 2013, and the 9th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2013, jointly held in Dalian, China, in June 2013.
The 33 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The Joint Conference provide a focused forum on current trends of research on algorithms, discrete structures, operation research, combinatorial optimization and their applications, and will bring together international experts at the research frontiers in these areas to exchange ideas and to present significant new results. The mission of the Joint Conference is to stimulate the various fields for which algorithmics can become a crucial enabler, and to strengthen the ties between the Eastern and Western research communities of algorithmics and applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications, COCOA 2007, held in Xi'an, China in August 2007.

The 29 revised full papers presented together with 8 invited papers and 2 invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 114 submissions. The papers feature original research in the areas of combinatorial optimization - both theoretical issues and and applications motivated by real-world problems thus showing convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting.

The refereed proceedings of the 9th Annual International Computing and Combinatorics Conference, COCOON 2003, held in Big Sky, MT, USA in July 2003. The 52 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 114 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on computational geometry, computational biology, computability and complexity theory, graph theory and graph algorithms, automata and Petri net theory, distributed computing, Web-based computing, scheduling, graph drawing, and fixed-parameter complexity theory.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications, COCOA 2013, held in Chengdu, China, in December 2013. The 36 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. The papers feature original research in the areas of combinatorial optimization and its applications. In addition to theoretical results there are reports on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest.
