Description of Encyclopedia of Algorithms
One of Springer’s renowned Major Reference Works, this awesome achievement provides a comprehensive set of solutions to important algorithmic problems for students and researchers interested in quickly locating useful information.
This first edition of the reference focuses on high-impact solutions from the most recent decade, while later editions will widen the scope of the work.
All entries have been written by experts, while links to Internet sites that outline their research work are provided. The entries have all been peer-reviewed. This defining reference is published both in print and on line.
The Encyclopedia of Algorithms aims to provide the researchers, students, and practitioners of algorithmic research with a mechanism to efficiently and accurately find the names, definitions, key results, and further readings of important algorithmic problems.
The work covers a wide range of algorithmic areas, and each algorithmic area is covered by a collection of entries. An encyclopedia entry is an in-depth mini-survey of an algorithmic problem and is written by an expert researcher.
The entries for an algorithmic area are compiled by an area editor to survey the representative results in that area and can form the core materials of a course in the area.
The Encyclopedia does not use the format of a conventional long survey for several reasons. A conventional survey takes a handful of individuals too much time to write and is difficult to update.
An encyclopedia entry contains the same kinds of information as in a conventional survey, but an encyclopedia entry is much shorter and is much easier for readers to absorb and for editors to update.
Furthermore, an algorithmic area is surveyed by a collection of entries which together provide a considerable amount of up-to-date information about the area, while the writing and updating of the entries is distributed among multiple authors to speed up the work.
