Combinatorial Pattern Matching

This volume features select refereed proceedings from the 18th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching. Collectively, the papers provide great insights into the most recent advances in combinatorial pattern matching. They are organized into topical sections covering algorithmic techniques, approximate pattern matching, data compression, computational biology, pattern analysis, suffix arrays and trees, and algorithmic techniques.
