Description
Algorithms and Theory of Computation Handbook, Second Edition in a two volume set, provides an up-to-date compendium of fundamental computer science topics and techniques. It also illustrates how the topics and techniques come together to deliver efficient solutions to important practical problems. New to the Second Edition: Along with updating and revising many of the existing chapters, this second edition contains more than 20 new chapters. This edition now covers external memory, parameterized, self-stabilizing, and pricing algorithms as well as the theories of algorithmic coding, privacy and anonymity, databases, computational games, and communication networks. It also discusses computational topology, computational number theory, natural language processing, and grid computing and explores applications in intensity-modulated radiation therapy, voting, DNA research, systems biology, and financial derivatives. This best-selling handbook continues to help computer professionals and engineers find significant information on various algorithmic topics. The expert contributors clearly define the terminology, present basic results and techniques, and offer a number of current references to the in-depth literature. They also provide a glimpse of the major research issues concerning the relevant topics
Reviews / Votes
... a compilation that will appeal to professionals and students alike; together with those engaged in research and especially those contemplating embarking upon research. ... This second edition contains twenty-one new chapters and a thorough updating and revision of many of the chapters from the first edition. A consistent style has been adopted ... the sections detailing research issues and sources for further information will ensure that this edition remains an excellent reference source for years to come. I recommend this text as both a teaching aid and a reference source whose utility can only but increase in the coming years.-International Statistical Review (2011), 79, 1
The detailed treatment of algorithmic foundations for various subfields of computer science makes the handbook relevant for abroad community of researchers in computer science, operations research, and optimization ... the handbook is a useful reference and presents a broad outlook on the vast field of algorithms and the theory of computation.
-Computing Reviews, May 2010
Praise for the First Edition... excellent survey of the state of the art ... highly recommended for anyone interested in algorithms, data structures and the theory of computation ... indispensable book of reference for all computer scientists, researchers and professional programmers.
