IFIP Working Group 1.10 is one of the ten working groups of the Technical Committee 1 of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). IFIP, the leading multinational and apolitical organization in Information & Communications Technologies and Sciences, represents IT Societies from 56 countries or regions, covering all 5 continents with a total membership of over half a million.
The Working Group has been founded in 2015 with the main aim to focus in String Algorithmics (combinatorics on words, string algorithms) and applications. It proposes a unique forum for the best available research that will provide sustained inspiration within the stringological community for still better research. We intend to take advantage of the applied nature of a very theoretical topic to encourage both theory and practice in the group. At both ends our main concern is to promote relevant research of the very highest quality.
