Regarded at its birth in 2007 as a one-off event,
StringMasters seems to be here to stay! StringMasters 2009 was held
in two instalments Down Under:
27-31 July: African StringMasters in Stellenbosch, South Africa
3-7 August: Aussie StringMasters in Perth, Western Australia
and will be held at end July next year in King's College London.
Check out the previous announcements
(2007 &
2008 )
and lists of participants
(2007 &
2008 ).
Papers emerging from StringMasters 2007 & 2008 are to be published in a special issue of
Fundamenta Informaticae .
Papers coming out of this year's StringMasters meetings will appear
in a special issue of the
Journal of Discrete Algorithms .
