Proceedings of the 27th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching.

The objective of the Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching is to provide an international forum for research in combinatorial pattern matching and related applications. It addresses issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees, regular expressions, graphs, point sets, and arrays. The goal is to derive combinatorial properties of such structures and to exploit these properties in order to achieve a superior performance for the corresponding computational problems. The meeting also deals with problems in bioinformatics and computational biology, coding and data compression, combinatorics on words, data mining, information retrieval, natural language processing, pattern discovery, string algorithms, string processing in databases, symbolic computing, and text searching. This volume contains the papers presented at the 27th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2016) held during June 27-29, 2016, in Tel Aviv, Israel
