Latin 2020 Theoretical Informatics

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th Latin American Symposium on Theoretical Informatics, LATIN 2020, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in January 2021. The 50 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 136 submissions. The papers are grouped into these topics: approximation algorithms; parameterized algorithms; algorithms and data structures; computational geometry; complexity theory; quantum computing; neural networks and biologically inspired computing; randomization; combinatorics; analytic and enumerative combinatorics; graph theory. Due to the Corona pandemic the event was postponed from May 2020 to January 2021.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th Latin American Symposium on Theoretical Informatics, LATIN 2022, which took place in Guanajuato, Mexico, in November 2022. The 46 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 114 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Algorithms and Data Structures; Approximation Algorithms; Cryptography; Social Choice Theory; Theoretical Machine Learning; Automata Theory and Formal Languages; Combinatorics and Graph Theory; Complexity Theory; Computational Geometry. Chapter “Klee’s Measure Problem Made Oblivious” is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

This book contains the invited and contributed papers selected for presentation at SOFSEM 2021, the 47th International Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, which was held online during January 25–28, 2021, hosted by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. The 33 full and 7 short papers included in the volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. They were organized in topical sections on: foundations of computer science; foundations of software engineering; foundations of data science and engineering; and foundations of algorithmic computational biology. The book also contains 5 invited papers.

This volume contains the proceedings of LATIN '92, a theoretical computer science symposium (Latin American Theoretical Informatics) held in S o Paulo, Brazil in April 1992. LATIN is intended to be a comprehensive symposium in the theory of computing, but for this first meeting the following areas were chosen for preferential coverage: algorithms and data structures, automata and formal languages, computability and complexity theory, computational geometry, cryptography, parallel and distributed computation, symbolic and algebraic computation, and combinatorial and algebraic aspects of computer science. The volume includesfull versions of the invited papers by 11 distinguished guest lecturers as well as 32 contributed papers selected from 66 submissions from authors with affiliations in 26 countries.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th Latin American Symposium on Theoretical Informatics, LATIN 2018, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in April 2018. The 63 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 161 submissions. The Symposium is devoted to different areas in theoretical computer science, including, but not limited to: algorithms (approximation, online, randomized, algorithmic game theory, etc.), analytic combinatorics and analysis of algorithms, automata theory and formal languages, coding theory and data compression, combinatorial algorithms, combinatorial optimization, combinatorics and graph theory, complexity theory, computational algebra, computational biology, computational geometry, computational number theory, cryptology, databases and information retrieval, data structures, formal methods and security, Internet and the web, parallel and distributed computing, pattern matching, programming language theory, and random structures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Symposium, Latin American Theoretical Informatics, LATIN 2006, held in March 2006. The 66 revised full papers presented together with seven invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 224 submissions. The papers presented are devoted to a broad range of topics in theoretical computer science with a focus on algorithmics and computations related to discrete mathematics as well as on cryptography, data compression and Web applications.
