The Fifth International Conference on Fun with Algorithms (FUN 2010)
is dedicated to the use, design, and analysis of algorithms and data
structures, focusing on results that provide amusing, witty but
nonetheless original and scientifically profound contributions to the
area. The previous FUNs were held in Elba Island and in
Castiglioncello, Italy. Special issues of Theoretical Computer Science
(FUN'98), Discrete Applied Mathematics (FUN'01), and Theory of
Computing Systems (FUN'04 and FUN'07) were dedicated to them.
The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- FUN with biological algorithms
- FUN with cryptographic algorithms
- FUN with game-theoretic algorithms
- FUN with internet algorithms
- FUN with optimization algorithms
- FUN with robotics algorithms
- FUN with string algorithms
- FUN with combinatorial algorithms
- FUN with distributed algorithms
- FUN with geometrical algorithms
- FUN with mobile algorithms
- FUN with parallel algorithms
- FUN with space-conscious algorithms
- FUN with algorithm visualization

Authors are invited to submit a manuscript by January 15th, 2010 at the

FUN 2010 web site. Manuscripts should not exceed 12 pages. Authors of

accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference.
Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.
