Evolutionary computation (EC) involves the study of problem-solving and op- mization techniques inspired by principles of natural evolution and genetics. EC has been able to draw the attention of an increasing number of researchers and practitioners in several ?elds. Evolutionary algorithms have in particular been showntobee?ectivefordi?cultcombinatorialoptimizationproblemsappearing in various industrial, economics, and scienti?c domains. This volume contains the proceedings of EvoCOP 2005, the 5th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization. It was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 30 March-1 April 2005, jointly with EuroGP 2005, the 8th European Conference on Genetic Programming, and the EvoWorkshops 2005, which consisted of the following six individual workshops: EvoBIO, the 3rd European Workshop on Evolutionary Bioinformatics; Evo- COMNET, the 2nd European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in C- munication, Networks, and Connected Systems; EvoHOT, the 2nd European Workshop on Hardware Optimisation Techniques; EvoIASP, the 7th European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis and Signal Proce- ing; EvoMUSART, the 3rd European Workshop on Evolutionary Music and Art; and EvoSTOC, the 2nd European Workshop on Evolutionary Algorithms in Stochastic and Dynamic Environments.

The papers in this volume were presented at the 9th Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2005). The workshop took place during August 15 - 17, 2005, at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada. The workshop alternateswith the ScandinavianWorkshopon Algorithm Theory(SWAT), c- tinuing the traditionof SWAT and WADS startingwith SWAT 1988and WADS 1989. From 90 submissions, the Program Committee selected 37 papers for p- sentation at the workshop. In addition, invited lectures were given by the f- lowing distinguished researchers: Allan Borodin and Max J. Egenhofer. OnbehalfoftheProgramCommittee,wewouldliketoexpressoursincere- preciation to the many persons whose e?ort contributed to making WADS 2005 a success. These include the invited speakers,members of the ste- ing and ProgramCommittees, the authors who submitted papers, and the many referees who assisted the ProgramCommittee. We are indebted to Robert Kane forinstallingandmodifyingthesubmissionsoftware,maintainingthesubmission server and interacting with authors as well as for helping with the preparation of the program.

These are the proceedings of Crypto 2005, the 25th Annual International Cr- tology Conference. The conference was sponsored by the International Assoc- tion for Cryptologic Research (IACR) in cooperation with the IEEE Computer ScienceTechnicalCommitteeonSecurityandPrivacyandtheComputerScience DepartmentoftheUniversityofCaliforniaatSantaBarbara.Theconferencewas held in Santa Barbara, California, August 14-18, 2005. Theconferencereceived178submissions,outofwhichtheprogramcommittee selected33forpresentation.Theselectionprocesswascarriedoutbytheprogram committee via an online  meeting. The authors of selected papers had a few weeks to prepare ?nal versions of their papers, aided by comments from the reviewers. However, most of these revisions were not subject to any editorial review. This year, a Best Paper Award  was given to Xiaoyun Wang, Yiqun Lisa Yin, and Hongbo Yu, for their paper Finding Collisions in the Full SHA-1.  The conference program included two invited lectures. Ralph Merkle del- ered an IACR Distinguished Lecture, entitled The Development of Public Key Cryptography:a PersonalView; and Thoughts on Nanotechnology. Dan Boneh gave an invited talk, entitled Bilinear Maps in Cryptography.  We continued the tradition of a rump session,  featuring short, informal presentations (usually serious, sometimes entertaining, and occasionally both). ˜ The rump session was chaired this year by Phong Q.
