The 12th International Conference and Workshops on Algorithms and Computation (WALCOM 2018) will be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh during March 03-05, 2018.

To provide an international forum for researchers working in the areas of algorithms and computation, the first Workshop on Algorithms and Computation (WALCOM 2007) was held on February 12, 2007 in Dhaka, Bangladesh and was organized by Bangladesh Academy of Sciences. WALCOM 2008 , WALCOM 2010, WALCOM 2012 and WALCOM 2015 were held in Bangladesh; whereas WALCOM 2009, WALCOM 2011, WALCOM 2013 and WALCOM 2014, were held in India. WALCOM 2016 was held in Nepal and WALCOM 2017 was held in Taiwan. The name of this conference has been changed as Conference and Workshops on Algorithms and Computation since WALCOM 2017.

Like the previous years, the proceedings is expected to be published by Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Special issues dedicated to WALCOM 2018 will be planned following previous events.

WALCOM 2018 is being organized in cooperation with IEICE Technical Committee on Theoretical Foundations of Computing (COMP), the Special Interest Group for ALgorithms (SIGAL) of the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and the EATCS Japan Chapter.
