This symposium focuses on research topics related to efficient algorithms and data structures for discrete problems. In addition to the design of such methods and structures, the scope also includes their use, performance analysis, and the mathematical problems related to their development or limitations. Performance analyses may be analytical or experimental and may address worst-case or expected-case performance. Studies can be theoretical or based on data sets that have arisen in practice and may address methodological issues involved in performance analysis.

The FCST 2009 derives from the Japan-China Joint Workshop on Frontier of Computer Science and Technology, which was held in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, November 2006 (FCST 2006), Wuhan, China, November 2007 (FCST 2007) and Nagasaki, Japan, December 2008 (FCST 2008). The purpose of FCST 2009 conference is to provide an open forum for computer scientists and researchers to present, discuss and exchange state-of-the-art ideas, results and experiences in all areas of computer science and technology.
