Handbook of Applied Algorithms / Wiley - IEEE (PDF)

Discover the benefits of applying algorithms to solve scientific,
engineering, and practical problems

Providing a combination of theory, algorithms, and simulations,
Handbook of Applied Algorithms presents an all-encompassing
treatment of applying algorithms and discrete mathematics to
practical problems in "hot" application areas, such as
computational biology, computational chemistry, wireless networks,
and computer vision.

In eighteen self-contained chapters, this timely book
explores:

* Localized algorithms that can be used in topology control for
wireless ad-hoc or sensor networks

* Bioinformatics algorithms for analyzing data

* Clustering algorithms and identification of association rules in
data mining

* Applications of combinatorial algorithms and graph theory in
chemistry and molecular biology

* Optimizing the frequency planning of a GSM network using
evolutionary algorithms

* Algorithmic solutions and advances achieved through game
theory

Complete with exercises for readers to measure their comprehension
of the material presented, Handbook of Applied Algorithms is a
much-needed resource for researchers, practitioners, and students
within computer science, life science, and engineering.
