StringMasters
Just before and after CPM 2024, there will be a StringMasters workshop on June 24 and 28. The venue for StringMasters is the ACROS Fukuoka, the same venue as CPM 2024.
The workshop is organized by Dominik Köppl (dkppl[at]yamanashi.ac.jp) and Yuto Nakashima (nakashima.yuto.003[at]m.kyushu-u.ac.jp).
Format and Purpose
StringMasters was established with the aim of bringing together researchers in string algorithms at all levels (senior, junior, especially graduate students) to study current problems of particular theoretical and practical interest. It is informal, with no scheduled presentations, entirely devoted to new research resulting from the interactions among the participants.
Typically small impromptu groups form, of about 2 to 5 researchers, who share a common interest in a problem. Old collaborations are reinforced, and new collaborations are formed. The workshop is accomodated in several meeting rooms to allow space for the parallel working groups and for general milling around.
All interested participants are welcome, around 25-35 participants are expected.
Topics
StringMasters research relates closely to many applications of stringology including:
- Design of Algorithms and Data Structures
- Music Algorithms
- Bioinformatics
- String Combinatorics
- Data Mining
- Internet Issues
- Natural Language Processing
- Automata Theory
- Combinatorial Algorithms
- Network Security
StringMasters welcomes participants with interests in any aspect of string algorithms, theoretical or applied.
Venue
StringMasters are held in the lecture rooms 605, 606, and 609 on the 6th floor (6F) of the building. Monday morning, we will meet up in the main room 606.
How to get to the venue/floor can be found on the CPM website.
