Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Theory of Computing Systems publishes research on theoretical computer science, including algorithms, complexity theory, and computational models. Recent articles explore secure computation with novel computational models, effective versions of probability theorems, factor complexity of sequences, and the complexity of graph problems like Independent Stable Set and H-Coloring. The journal also covers topics such as straight-line programs for string compression, Euclidean minimum weight perfect matching, pattern matching queries, Datalog for constraint satisfaction problems, and online scheduling algorithms.
