The Prague Stringology Conference 2010

Prague, Czech Republic, August 30–September 1, 2010



PSC 2010 is the 15th event of the Prague Stringology Club. It is an international conference focusing on stringology and related areas. It is organized annually by the Prague Stringology Club, a research group in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of Information Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague. The proceedings of recent conferences are indexed in DBLP.

Stringology is a part of algorithmic research that deals with the processing of text strings. It has existed for at least thirty years and developed into a respected subfield of its own. The last twenty years have produced an explosion of new results. This progress is due in part to the human genome effort, an area to which string algorithms can make important contributions. String processing extends into tree processing that is called Arbology. A special session will be devoted to arbology.

The topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

History

PSC 2010 was preceded by Prague Stringology Workshops in 1996-2000 and by Prague Stringology Conferences in 2001-2006, 2008-2009. Each year proceedings are prepared for the conference. They are published by Czech Technical University in Prague and are also available from the PSC web pages. Selected papers from the later workshops were also published in a special issue of the journal Kybernetika. Selected papers from the 2002-2006, 2008 conferences were then published in the Nordic Journal of Computing, Journal of Automata, Languages and Combinatorics and International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science.
