Algorithmic challenges arise in many emerging areas of computing. Securit
y,
bioinformatics, quantum computing, power management and algorithmic game
theory are examples of such areas. For instance, in the area of algorithm
ic
game theory, economic agents are in varying degrees of collaboration and
competition, and questions about equilibria arise. The study of
combinatorial auctions gives insight into complex interactions of such
agents on the Internet. In the area of power management for mobile device
s
like PDAs, sensors, cell phones and laptops, improvements in battery
technology lag behind the dramatic improvement in hardware. Online
algorithms allow power management schemes to schedule resources without f
ull
knowledge of future demands. In information security, investigations int
o
efficient algorithms for secure dissemination of information,
cyberforensics, and prevention of cybercrime are in great demand.

This mini-track explores algorithmic challenges in these and other realms

including online and randomized algorithms, scheduling theory, approximat
ion
algorithms, optimization, and algorithmic complexity, and other areas
