Algorithms and Data Structures

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures, WADS, 2019, held in Edmonton, AB, Canada, in August 2019. The 42 full papers presented together with 3 invited lectures, we carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 88 submissions. They present original research on the theory and application of algorithms and data structures in many areas, including combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, graphics, and parallel and distributed computing.
