The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium (WADS) which alternates with the Scandinavian Symposium on Algorithm Theory (SWAT), is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures.

We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on the theory and application of algorithms and data structures in all areas, including combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, graphics, and parallel and distributed computing.
