Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management

While the areas of information management and management science are full of algorithmic challenges, the proliferation of data has called for the design of e?cient and e?ective algorithms and data structures for their management and processing. The International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management(AAIM) is intended for originalalgorithmicresearchon immediate applications and/or fundamental problems pertinent to information mana- ment and management science to be broadly construed. The conference aims at bringing together researchers in computer science, operations research, applied mathematics, economics, and related disciplines. This volume contains papers presented at AAIM 2010: the 6th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, which was held during July 19-21, 2010, in Weihai, China. We received a total of 50 s- missions.Eachsubmissionwasreviewedbythreemembersof the ProgramC- mittee or their deputies on the quality, originality, soundness, and signi?cance of its contribution. The committee decided to accept 31 papers. The program also included two invited keynote talks. The success of the conference resulted from the input of many people. We would like ?rst of all to thank all the members of the Program Committee for their expert evaluation of the submissions. The local organizers in the School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University, did an extraordinary job, for which we are very grateful. We thank the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Montana State University (USA), University of Warwick (UK), and Shandong University (China) for their sponsorship.
