Frontiers of Algorithmics

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Frontiers in Algorithmics, FAW 2021, held in conjunction with second International Joint Conference on Theoretical Computer Science (IJTCS 2021), as IJTCS-FAW 2021, in Beijing, China, in August 2021.

The conference IJTCS-FAW 2021 was held in hybrid mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 5 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 9 submissions.

The joint conference provides a focused forum on Algorithmic Game Theory, Blockchain, Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning, Quantum Computation, Theory of Machine Learning, Machine Learning, Formal Method, Algorithm and Complexity, and EconCS.
