Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2021, which was held online during December 20-22, 2021. The conference was originally planned to take place in Dallas, Texas, USA, but changed to a virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 38 regular papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. They were organized in the following topical sections: approximation algorithms; scheduling; nonlinear combinatorial optimization; network problems; blockchain, logic, complexity and reliability; and miscellaneous.
