About the Book: Algorithms and Theory of Computation Handbook, Second Edition: Special Topics and Techniques 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. Along with updating and revising many of the existing chapters, this second edition contains more than 15 new chapters. This edition now covers self-stabilizing and pricing algorithms as well as the theories of privacy and anonymity, databases, computational games, and communication networks. It also discusses computational topology, natural language processing, and grid computing and explores applications in intensity-modulated radiation therapy, voting, DNA research, systems biology, and financial derivatives. Features - Provides exceptionally broad coverage of the field with the inclusion of all major techniques, ideas, and applications areas
- Presents important special topics not typically covered in similar books
- Brings together contributions from top researchers and educators who offer valuable insight into key research issues
- Discusses both the state of knowledge and state of the practice
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. |

About the Authors: Mikhail Atallah obtained his PhD from The Johns Hopkins University in 1982 and immediately thereafter joined the computer science department at Purdue University, Klest Lafayette Indiana, where he currently holds the rank of distinguished professor of computer science. His research interests include information security, distributed computing, algorithms, and computational geometry. A fellow of both the ACM and the IEEE, Dr. Atallah has served on the editorial boards of top journals and on the program committees of top conferences and workshops. He was a keynote and invited speaker at many national and international meetings, and a speaker in the Distinguished Colloquium Series of top computer science departments on nine occasions. In 1999, he was selected as one of the best teachers in the history of Purdue and was included in a permanent wall display of Purdue’s best teachers, past and present. Marina Blanton is an assistant professor in the computer science and engineering department at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana. She holds a PhD from Purdue University. Her research interests focus on information security, privacy, and applied cryptography, and, in particular, span across areas such as privacy-preserving computation, authentication, anonymity, and key management Dr. Blanton has numerous publications at top venues and is actively involved in program committee work. |
