Algorithm Engineering and Experimentation

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the International Workshop on Algorithmic Engineering and Experimentation, ALENEX'99, held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, in January 1999.The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 42 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in sections on combinatorial algorithms, computational geometry, software and applications, algorithms for NP-hard problems, and data structures.
