A Guide to Experimental Algorithmics
This is a guidebook for those who want to use computational experiments to support their work in algorithm design and analysis. Numerous case studies and examples show how to apply these concepts. All the necessary concepts in computer architecture and data analysis are covered so that the book can be used by anyone who has taken a course or two in data structures and algorithms.
Adiabatic Quantum Computation and Quantum Annealing
Adiabatic quantum computation (AQC) is an alternative to the better-known gate model of quantum computation. The two models are polynomially equivalent, but otherwise quite dissimilar: one property that distinguishes AQC from the gate model is its analog nature. Quantum annealing (QA) describes a type of heuristic search algorithm that can be implemented to run in the ``native instruction set'' of an AQC platform. D-Wave Systems Inc. manufactures {quantum annealing processor chips} that exploit quantum properties to realize QA computations in hardware. The chips form the centerpiece of a novel computing platform designed to solve NP-hard optimization problems. Starting with a 16-qubit protot...
Experimental Algorithms
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Experimental and Efficient Algorithms, WEA 2008, held in Provincetown, MA, USA, in May/June 2008. The 26 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and present current research on experimental evaluation and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various aspects of computational optimization and its applications. Special focus is put on the use of experimental methods to guide the design, analysis, implementation, and evaluation of algorithms, heuristics, and optimization programs.
Quantum Technology and Optimization Problems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Quantum Technology and Optimization Problems, QTOP 2019, held in Munich, Germany, in March 2019.The 18 full papers presented together with 1 keynote paper in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The papers are grouped in the following topical sections: analysis of optimization problems; quantum gate algorithms; applications of quantum annealing; and foundations and quantum technologies.

Algorithm Engineering and Experimentation
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the International Workshop on Algorithmic Engineering and Experimentation, ALENEX'99, held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, in January 1999. The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 42 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in sections on combinatorial algorithms, computational geometry, software and applications, algorithms for NP-hard problems, and data structures.
Network Flows and Matching
Interest has grown recently in the application of computational and statistical tools to problems in the analysis of algorithms. In many algorithmic domains, worst-case bounds are too pessimistic and tractable probabilistic models too unrealistic to provide meaningful predictions of practical algorithmic performance. Experimental approaches can provide knowledge where purely analytical methods fail and can provide insights to motivate and guide deeper analytical results. The DIMACS Implementation Challenge was organized to encourage experimental work in the area of network flows and matchings. Participants at sites in the U.S., Europe, and Japan undertook projects between November 1990 and August 1991 to test and evaluate algorithms for these problems. The Challenge culminated in a three-day workshop, held in October 1991 at DIMACS. This volume contains the revised and refereed versions of twenty-two of the papers presented at the workshop, along with supplemental material about the Challenge and the Workshop.
Measuring Computer Performance
Sets out the fundamental techniques used in analyzing and understanding the performance of computer systems.
Advances in Computational Complexity Theory
* Recent papers on computational complexity theory * Contributions by some of the leading experts in the field This book will prove to be of lasting value in this fast-moving field as it provides expositions not found elsewhere. The book touches on some of the major topics in complexity theory and thus sheds light on this burgeoning area of research.
Language Computations
This book contains the refereed proceedings of the DIMACS Workshop on Human Language, held in March 1992 at Princeton University. The workshop drew together many of the world's most prominent linguists, computer scientists, and learning theorists to focus on language computations. A language computation is a computation that underlies the comprehension, production, or acquisition of human language. These computations lie at the very heart of human language. This volume aims to advance understanding of language computation, with a focus on computations related to the sounds and words of a language. The book investigates sensory-motor representation of speech sounds (phonetics), phonological stress, problems in language acquisition, and the relation between the sound and the meaning of words (morphology). The articles are directed toward researchers with an interest in human language and in computation. Although no article requires expertise in linguistics or computer science, some background in these areas is helpful, and the book provides relevant references.
