Special issue Journal "Graph algorithms and apllication"

This special issue of Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA) contains the full journal versions of a small selection of papers carefully cho- sen within the research works presented at the 10th International Workshop on Algorithms and Computation (WALCOM 2016) held at Asian Institute of Technology & Management in Kathmandu, Nepal, from March 29th to March 31th, 2016. The proceedings of WALCOM 2016, Volume 5942 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science published by Springer in 2016, contain 27 contributions ac- cepted after a rigorous review process out of 68 submissions from 170 different authors of 21 different countries. Indeed WALCOM, a fully refereed confer- ence for theoretical computer science research in Asia, has proposed itself to be strengthening tieing between local and international scientific communities. Selected for their quality, only 7 papers have been chosen from the 27 pub- lished in the Proceedings and, following the tradition of the previous events of WALCOM, the papers in this special issue have been carefully rewritten and expanded compared to the conference papers. The journal versions of the pa- pers have been fully refereed following the high standards of the JGAA. We would like to thank all the colleagues who contributed to this special issue. In particular, we wish to thank the authors for contributing with their works and the reviewers for volunteering their time to review the papers. We sincerely hope that this issue will provide an interesting and thought-provoking reading for the readership of this journal.
