Thisvolumecontainsthe paperspresentedatthe 17thInternationalSymposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval (SPIRE 2010), held October 11-13, 2010 in Los Cabos, Mexico. The annual SPIRE conference provides researchers within ?elds related to string processing and/or information retrieval a possibility to present their or- inal contributions and to meet and talk with other researchers with similar - terests. The call for papers invited submissions related to string processing (d- tionary algorithms; text searching; pattern matching; text and sequence c- pression; automata-based string processing), information retrieval (information retrieval models; indexing; ranking and ?ltering; querying and interface design), natural language processing (text analysis; text mining; machine learning; - formation extraction; language models; knowledge representation), searchapp- cations and usage (cross-lingual information access systems; multimedia inf- mation access; digital libraries; collaborative retrieval and Web-related appli- tions; semi-structured data retrieval; evaluation), and interaction of biology and computation (DNA sequencing and applications in molecular biology; evolution andphylogenetics;recognitionofgenesandregulatoryelements;sequencedriven protein structure prediction). The papers presented at the symposium were selected from 109 submissions written by authors from 30 di'erent countries. Each submission was reviewed by at least three reviewers, with a maximum of ?ve reviews for particularly challengingpapers. The ProgramCommittee accepted 39 papers(corresponding to ?35% acceptance rate): 26 long papers and 13 short papers. In addition to these presentations, SPIRE 2010 also featured invited talks by Gonzalo Navarro (Universidad de Chile) and Mark Najork (Microsoft Research, USA).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval, SPIRE 2012, held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in October 2012. The 26 full papers, 13 short papers, and 3 keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The following topics are covered: fundamentals algorithms in string processing and information retrieval; SP and IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology, DNA sequencing, and Web mining.
