The papers in this volume were presented at the Second
Italian Conference onAlgorithms and Complexity, held in
February 1994 in Rome. This biannual conference series is
intended to present research contributions in theory and
applications of sequential, parallel, and distributed
algorithms, data structures, and computational complexity.
The volume contains four invited presentations and 14
regular presentations selected from 32 submissions, each of
which was evaluated by at least four program committee
members. The invited presentations are by J. Hartmanis and
S. Chari, A. Garg and R. Tamassia, S.C. Sahinalp and U.
Vishkin, and M. Yannakakis.
