Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management: 5th International Conference, AAIM 2009, San Francisco, CA, USA, June 15-17, 2009, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 5564)

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information Management, AAIM 2009, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in June 2009.
The 25 papers presented together with the abstracts of two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book.
While the areas of information management and management science are full of algorithmic challenges, the proliferation of data (Internet, biology, finance etc) has called for the design of efficient and scalable algorithms and data structures for their management and processing. This conference is intended for original algorithmic research on immediate applications and/or fundamental problems pertinent to information management and management science, broadly construed. The conference aims at bringing together researchers in Computer Science, Operations Research, Economics, Game Theory, and related disciplines.
