Algorithms - ESA '93 - First Annual European Symposium, Bad Honnef, Germany, September 30 - October 2, 1993. Proceedings
Symposium on Algorithms (ESA '93), held in Bad Honnef, near
Boon, in Germany, September 30 - October 2, 1993. The
symposium is intended to launchan annual series of
international conferences, held in early fall, covering the
field of algorithms. Within the scope of the symposium lies
all research on algorithms, theoretical as well as applied,
that is carried out in the fields of computer science and
discrete applied mathematics. The symposium aims to cater to
both of these research communities and to intensify the
exchange between them.
The volume contains 35 contributed papers selected from 101
proposals submitted in response to the call for papers, as
well as three invited lectures: "Evolution of an algorithm"
by Michael Paterson, "Complexity of disjoint paths problems
in planar graphs" by Alexander Schrijver, and "Sequence
comparison and statistical significance in molecular
biology" by Michael S. Waterman.
