Symposium on Algorithms (ESA '93), held in Bad Honnef, near Boon, in Germany, September 30 - October 2, 1993. The symposium is intended to launchan annual series of international conferences, held in early fall, covering the field of algorithms. Within the scope of the symposium lies all research on algorithms, theoretical as well as applied, that is carried out in the fields of computer science and discrete applied mathematics. The symposium aims to cater to both of these research communities and to intensify the exchange between them. The volume contains 35 contributed papers selected from 101 proposals submitted in response to the call for papers, as well as three invited lectures: "Evolution of an algorithm" by Michael Paterson, "Complexity of disjoint paths problems in planar graphs" by Alexander Schrijver, and "Sequence comparison and statistical significance in molecular biology" by Michael S. Waterman.

This book brings together recent developments in Alzheimer's disease research with related discoveries in the field of cell biology. The book moves between basic cell biological concepts that form the underpinnings of modern Alzheimer's disease research, and current findings about proteins and cellular processes affected by the disease. Divided into three topics, the book addresses (1) protein trafficking, a problem that has become germane to the study of the amyloid precursor protein; (2) phosphorylation, a problem that underlies studies of the pathological transformation of tau to paired helical filaments; and (3) cell death, a pervasive problem in neurodegeneration.

This Festschrift was published in honor of Hans L. Bodlaender on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The 14 full and 5 short contributions included in this volume show the many transformative discoveries made by H.L. Bodlaender in the areas of graph algorithms, parameterized complexity, kernelization and combinatorial games. The papers are written by his former Ph.D. students and colleagues as well as by his former Ph.D. advisor, Jan van Leeuwen.

Today the cemented joint prosthesis operation is one of the most frequent procedures in orthopaedic surgery. During the past 30 years the individual steps of such an operation have been carefully validated and thus allow for a reproducible and standardized operation, including a reliable prognosis for the maintenance of the joint. This manual is a practical guide to a complication preventing cementing technique, cement fixation, maintenance of the bone and diamond technique. Clear drawings and diagrams guide the reader through the pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative steps. The manual covers all possible complications and gives clear instructions, so as to prevent complications but also to cope with them if they occur. Finally, it covers all forensic criteria to be considered.

This volume comprises the papers selected for presentation at the international conference on Formal Methods in Programming and Their Applications, held in Academgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia, June-July 1993. The conference was organized by the Institute of Informatics Systems of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was the first forum organized by the Institute which was entirely dedicated to formal methods. The main scientific tracks of the conference were centered around formal methods of program development and program construction. The papers in the book are grouped into the following parts: - formal semantics methods - algebraic specification methods - semantic program analysis and abstract interpretation - semantics of parallelism - logic of programs - software specification and verification - transformational development and program synthesis.

This volume presents the proceedings of the First Canada-France Conference on Parallel Computing; despite its name, this conference was open to full international contribution and participation, as shown by the list of contributing authors. This volume consists of in total 22 full papers, either invited or accepted and revised after a thorough reviewing process. All together the papers provide a highly competent perspective on research in parallel algorithms and complexity, interconnection networks and distributed computing, algorithms for unstructured problems, and structured communications from the point of view of parallel and distributed computing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Euro-Par Conference, held in Passau, Germany, in August 1997. The 178 revised papers presented were selected from more than 300 submissions on the basis of 1101 reviews. The papers are organized in accordance with the conference workshop structure in tracks on support tools and environments, routing and communication, automatic parallelization, parallel and distributed algorithms, programming languages, programming models and methods, numerical algorithms, parallel architectures, HPC applications, scheduling and load balancing, performance evaluation, instruction-level parallelism, database systems, symbolic computation, real-time systems, and an ESPRIT workshop.

Fault tolerance has been an active research area for many years. This volume presents papers from a workshop held in 1993 where a small number of key researchers and practitioners in the area met to discuss the experiences of industrial practitioners, to provide a perspective on the state of the art of fault tolerance research, to determine whether the subject is becoming mature, and to learn from the experiences so far in order to identify what might be important research topics for the coming years. The workshop provided a more intimate environment for discussions and presentations than usual at conferences. The papers in the volume were presented at the workshop, then updated and revised to reflect what was learned at the workshop.

Computational unconstrained nonlinear optimization comes to life from a study of the interplay between the metric-based (Cauchy) and model-based (Newton) points of view. The motivating problem is that of minimizing a convex quadratic function. This research monograph reveals for the first time the essential unity of the subject. It explores the relationships between the main methods, develops the Newton-Cauchy framework and points out its rich wealth of algorithmic implications and basic conceptual methods. The monograph also makes a valueable contribution to unifying the notation and terminology of the subject. It is addressed topractitioners, researchers, instructors, and students and provides a useful and refreshing new perspective on computational nonlinear optimization.
