*** About ***

International Joint Conference on Theoretical Computer Science – Frontier
of Algorithmic Wisdom (IJTCS-FAW 2024) will be held on July 29 – August 2,
2024, hosted by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. We aim to provide a
platform for advancing theoretical computer science and promoting the
exchange of knowledge and ideas. It is the 5th IJTCS and 18th FAW
(originally run as a workshop). FAW is joining IJTCS as the main track
selecting high-quality submissions together with several new tracks.
