String Matching and Its Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid growth of available data in almost all fields, there is large demand for efficient pattern-matching algorithms. We invite you to submit your latest research in the area of string matching (single or multiple, on-line or off-line, exact or approximate, in uncompressed or compressed form) describing new data structures and/or new algorithms. High-quality papers are solicited to address both theoretical and practical issues of string matching including, but not restricted to, natural language processing, text mining, bioinformatics (DNA, RNA, protein sequences), chemoinformatics, intrusion detection, security, plagiarism detection, digital forensics, video retrieval, and music analysis.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
