Algorithms and Computation

No conference can succeed without exceptional local organization. For the often overlooked and thankless task of ?nding a suitable venue and banquet location,dealingwiththelogisticsofregistration,organizinglunchesandco?ee, etc.,wewouldliketothankthetheorganizingcommittee,NadjaRence,andOlga Stachova for all their e?orts above and beyond the call of duty. We thank our sponsorsSimonFraserUniversity,thePaci?cInstituteofMathematicalSciences, the institute for Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems, andBajaiInc.fortheirgeneroussupport.Finally,wethankalltheauthorsand participants. We hope this edition of ISAAC will be a success.
