*************************************************************

The year 2014 marks the quarter-of-a-century milestone for
the CPM symposium series. This special edition will celebrate
the many contributions made by the CPM Community to the vast
area of algorithms and perhaps more importantly to break-
throughs in applications ranging from document searching to
bioinformatics and computational biology. CPM-2014 will fea-
ture special sessions and lectures offering a retrospective
as well as help in identifying the most promising future di-
rections for this uniquely vibrant and useful specialty.

SCOPE: Papers in all areas related to combinatorial pattern
matching and its applications are sought, including, but not
limited to: bioinformatics and computational biology, coding
and data compression, combinatorics on words, data mining,
information retrieval, natural language processing, pattern
discovery, string algorithms, string processing in databases,
and text searching.

Both papers reporting on original research unpublished else-
where and surveys of important results are welcome. The pro-
ceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag series Lec-
ture Notes in Computer Science.
