The Fourth Workshop on Compression, Text, and Algorithms 2009

Friday, 28 August, 2009, Saariselkä, Finland

The Fourth Workshop on Compression, Text, and Algorithms will take place the day after SPIRE 2009. The workshop was established by Gonzalo Navarro in 2005 and has been collocated with SPIRE since 2007. The format will remain similar to previous years, focusing primarily on the intersection of compression and search, and composed of a series of informal talks describing ongoing work followed by ample time for discussions. We would of course prefer it to be different material than covered in your SPIRE talk. We hope that many of the talks will be by students and young researchers. If senior researchers are willing to participate, other presentation formats are welcomed. Previous programs can be found at:
3rd Workshop 2008
2nd Workshop 2007
1st Workshop 2005

We hope that you'll consider joining us. The workshop is free but if you plan on attending, please send us email so that proper catering arrangements can be made. Also state if you're willing to give a talk.
