The WEA events are intended to be an international forum for research on the design, analysis and especially the experimental implementation, evaluation and engineering of algorithms, as well as on combinatorial optimization and its applications.

Thisvolumecontains3invitedpapersrelatedtocorrespondingkeynotetalks: by Prof. Christos Papadimitriou (University of California at Berkeley, USA), Prof. David Bader (University of New Mexico, USA) and Prof. Celso Ribeiro (University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

In addition to the 54 papers included in this volume, 6papers were accepted as poster presentations: these papers were published in a separate poster p- ceedings volume by CTI Press and a major publisher in Greece, "Ellinika Gr- mata."
