This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Scandinavian
Workshop on Algorithm Theory, SWAT 2002, held in Turku, Finland, in July
2002.
The 43 revised full papers presented together with two invited
contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions.
The papers are organized in topical sections on scheduling,
computational geometry, graph algorithms, robotics, approximation
algorithms, data communication, computational biology, and data storage
and manipulation.
