This volume constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on "Computational Commutative Algebra and Combinatorics" held in Osaka, Japan. It contains excellent survey articles and research papers on various topics related to the theme of the conference. Of particular interest are two survey articles, "Algebraic Shifting" by Gil Kalai and "Generic Initial Ideals and Graded Betti Numbers" by Jürgen Herzog.

The volume is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in discrete mathematics.

Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS.

Readership
