Handbook of Algorithms And Data Structures

This second edition brings together many useful algorithms and their associated data structures in a single, handy reference, featuring a new section on text manipulation algorithms and expanded coverage of arithmetical algorithms. Each algorithm is coded in both C and Pascal.

The proliferation of massive data sets brings with it a series of special computational challenges. This "data avalanche" arises in a wide range of scientific and commercial applications. With advances in computer and information technologies, many of these challenges are beginning to be addressed by diverse inter-disciplinary groups, that indude computer scientists, mathematicians, statisticians and engineers, working in dose cooperation with application domain experts. High profile applications indude astrophysics, bio-technology, demographics, finance, geographi­ cal information systems, government, medicine, telecommunications, the environment and the internet. John R. Tucker of the Board on Mathe­ matical Seiences has stated: "My interest in this problern (Massive Data Sets) isthat I see it as the rnost irnportant cross-cutting problern for the rnathernatical sciences in practical problern solving for the next decade, because it is so pervasive.
