Experimental and Efficient Algorithms: 4th International Workshop, WEA 2005, Santorini Island, Greece, May 10-13, 2005, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in ... / Programming and Software Engineering)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Experimental and Efficient Algorithms, WEA 2005, held in Santorini Island, Greece in May 2005.

The 47 revised full papers and 7 revised short papers presented together with extended abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 176 submissions. The book is devoted to the design, analysis, implementation, experimental evaluation, and engineering of efficient algorithms. Among the application areas addressed are most fields applying advanced algorithmic techniques, such as combinatorial optimization, approximation, graph theory, discrete mathematics, scheduling, searching, sorting, string matching, coding, networking, data mining, data analysis, etc.
