11-13 October 2006, 13th Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval (SPIRE 2006), Glasgow, Scotland

SPIRE 2006 is the 13th Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval. The first four editions focused primarily on string processing and South America, and were called WSP (South American Workshop on String Processing). Starting in 1998, the focus of the workshop was broadened to include the area of information retrieval due to its increasing relevance and its inter-relationship with the area of string processing. In addition, since 2000, the conference venue has been in Europe in even years.

SPIRE 2006 covers research in all aspects of string processing, information retrieval, computational biology, pattern matching, semi-structured data, and related applications.
