Dear all,

The 11th Workshop on Compression, Text and Algorithms (WCTA) 

will be held at B-ConPlaza in Beppu, Japan, October 17, 2016, the day before SPIRE’16.  

This is an annual satellite workshop of SPIRE mostly focusing on compression, data 

structures and string processing topics.

We invite an abstract for presentation  (15-25 minutes) of preferably unpublished work, 

published results, work in progress, surveys of interest, open problems, etc. 

Since WCTA has no proceedings, it will not preclude a possibility of  submitting presenting 

results to other conferences or publishing them in journals. 

Please submit abstracts by email to both WCTA cochiars.

WCTA will be free for all attendees.
