The programme for the 2015 Workshop on Compression, Text and Algorithms (WCTA) is now available at
http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/events/spire2015/wcta_programme.html .
The workshop will take place at King's College, London, on Friday next week --- i.e., September 4th, the day after the Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval (SPIRE).

WCTA will feature an invited talk on "Using Suffix Array Based Data Structures in Computational Genomics" by Richard Durbin, FRS, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a tutorial on "Compact and Succinct Data Structures -- From Theory to Practice" by Simon Gog from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and contributed talks on bioinformatics and algorithms and combinatorics on strings.

WCTA is free of charge and we hope you can attend.
