This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Joint Conference on Theoretical Computer Science-Frontier of Algorithmic Wisdom (IJTCS-FAW 2023), consisting of the 17th International Conference on Frontier of Algorithmic Wisdom (FAW) and the 4th International Joint Conference on Theoretical Computer Science (IJTCS), held in Macau, China, during August 14-18, 2023.
FAW started as the Frontiers of Algorithmic Workshop in 2007 at Lanzhou, China, and was held annually from 2007 to 2021 and published archival proceedings. IJTCS, the International joint theoretical Computer Science Conference, started in 2020, aimed to bring in presentations covering active topics in selected tracks in theoretical computer science.
To accommodate the diversified new research directions in theoretical computer science, FAW and IJTCS joined their forces together to organize an event for information exchange of new findings and work of enduring value in the field.
The 21 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: algorithmic game theory; algorithms and data structures; combinatorial optimization; and computational economics.
