Preface

This volume contains the 14 contributed papers and the contribution of the distinguished invited speaker B´ela Bollob´ as presented at the 3rd Workshop on Algorithms and Models for the Web-Graph (WAW 2004), held in Rome, Italy, October 16, 2004, in conjunction with the 45th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS 2004). The World Wide Web has become part of our everyday life and information retrieval and data mining on the Web is now of enormous practical interest. Some of the algorithms supporting these activities are based substantially on viewing the Web as a graph, induced in various ways by links among pages, links among hosts, or other similar networks. The aim of the 2004 Workshop on Algorithms and Models for the Web-Graph was to further the understanding of these Web-induced graphs, and stimulate the development of high-performance algorithms and
