Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of large-scale data, such as those resulting from the analysis of bacterial populations in industry, and the complexity of analysis procedures in bioinformatics and computational biology, as well as the reproducibility of results, have posed numerous challenges to computer engineering in general and algorithm engineering in particular. The volume of data, their properties, and the inherent optimization problems have led to the extension and development of new, efficient algorithms and data structures for indexing, compressing, and succinctly representing sequences, trees, and graphs; aligning sequences and trees; the determination and inference of patterns; and information visualization. Furthermore, in real applications in the field of bioinformatics, where input data are often biased and where the hardware used may differ from that in theoretical models, the results are not always what is initially expected. In this context, algorithm-engineering-based approaches are fundamental to transfer ideas and theoretical results, to design and analyze, to experimentally evaluate, and to implement algorithms in libraries and applications in the scope of bioinformatics and computational biology.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
