Structured Approaches for Problems of Network Design and Utilization
Michael Allen Langston · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1994
Basic research has been conducted in the design and analysis of algorithms. Fundamental questions in computer software and systems research have been addressed, concentrating on two particularly promising areas: (1) practical approaches to problems for which only the existence of asymptotically fast algorithms is guaranteed and (2) efficient strategies for parallel computing in realistic, resource-bounded environments. The former is motivated by dramatic recent results in discrete mathematics. The latter is driven by continuing advances in parallel computer architectures.
