Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2014, held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in July 2014.

The 30 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The topics cover most areas in discrete algorithms and their applications.
