Helmut Alt Bücher

This book is based on a graduate education program on computational discrete mathematics run for several years in Berlin, Germany, as a joint effort of theoretical computer scientists and mathematicians in order to support doctoral students and advanced ongoing education in the field of discrete mathematics and algorithmics. The 12 selected lectures by leading researchers presented in this book provide recent research results and advanced topics in a coherent and consolidated way. Among the areas covered are combinatorics, graph theory, coding theory, discrete and computational geometry, optimization, and algorithmic aspects of algebra.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 2003, held in Berlin, Germany in February/March 2003. The 58 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 253 submissions. The papers address the whole range of theoretical computer science including algorithms and data structures, automata and formal languages, complexity theory, semantics, logic in computer science, as well as current challenges like biological computing, quantum computing, and mobile and net computing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 2002, held in Antibes - Juan les Pins, France, in March 2002. The 50 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 209 submissions. The book offers topical sections on algorithms, current challenges, computational and structural complexity, automata and formal languages, and logic in computer science.
