ISA '91 Algorithms: 2nd International Symposium on Algorithms, Taipei, Republic of China, December 16-18, 1991. Proceedings / Edition 1

by Wen-Lian Hsu, R.C.T. Lee

Overview

This volume presents the proceedings of the Second Annual International Symposium on Algorithms held at Academia Sinica, Taipei, Republic of China, December 16-18, 1991. The symposium was organized by the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, and the National Tsing Hua University. In response to the program committee's call for papers, 90 papers were submitted, from which the committee selected 36 for presentation at the symposium. In addition to these contributed papers, the symposium included 5 invited talks. The subjects of the papers range widely in the area of discrete algorithms, over such topics as computational geometry, graph algorithms, complexity theory, parallel algorithms, distributed computing and computational algebra.
