Preface
ThepapersinthisvolumewerepresentedatSWAT2000,theSeventhScandina-
vianWorkshoponAlgorithmTheory.Theworkshop,whichisreallyaconference,
has been held biennially since 1988, rotating between the (cid:12)ve Nordic countries
(Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland). It also has a loose associa-
tionwiththeWADS(WorkshoponAlgorithmsandDataStructures)conference
thatisheldinoddnumberedyears.SWATisintendedasaforumforresearchers
intheareaofdesignandanalysisofalgorithms.TheSWATconferencesarecoor-
dinatedbytheSWATsteeringcommittee,whichconsistsofB.Aspvall(Bergen),
S.Carlsson(Lule(cid:23)a),H.Hafsteinsson(U.Iceland),R.Karlsson(Lund),A.Lingas
(Lund), E. Schmidt (Aarhus), and E. Ukkonen (Helsinki).
The call for papers sought contributions in all areas of algorithms and data
structures, including computational geometry, parallel and distributed comput-
ing, graph theory, and computational biology. A total of 105 papers were sub-
mitted, out of which the program committee selected 43 for presentation. In
addition, invited lectures were presented by Uriel Feige (Weizmann), Mikkel
Thorup (AT&T Labs-Research), and Esko Ukkonen (Helsinki).
SWAT2000washeldinBergen,July5-7,2000,andwaslocallyorganizedby
a committee consisting of Pinar Heggernes, Petter Kristiansen, Fredrik Manne,
and Jan Arne Telle (chair), all from the department of informatics, University
of Bergen.
We wish to thank all the referees who aided in evaluating the papers. We
also thank The Research Council of Norway (NFR) and the City of Bergen for
(cid:12)nancial support.
