SPP 731:  Effiziente Algorithmen für diskrete Probleme und ihre Anwendungen

Subject Area Computer Science, Systems and Electrical Engineering
Term from 1995 to 2000
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5465944
 
The strategic goal of this research cluster that ended in the year 2000 was to direct the basic research in computer science and discrete mathematics that has led to interesting new methods in the past towards applications in science and technology. In line with this goal, projects funded within the research cluster aimed at extending the basic research on algorithms from previous years and decades towards specific applications inside and - especially - outside computer science.The projects investigated problems that arise directly from applications, whose domains include, e.g., circuit design, computer-aided design in construction and manufacturing, traffic, robotics, chemistry, and biology. The problems investigated have a direct relevance to their respective applications. In many cases, this relevance to the application is substantiated by cooperation or contacts with researchers from the application discipline.Solution methods are based on recent developments on discrete algorithms. Algorithmic research that is relevant here includes data structures, graph algorithms, computational geometry, computer algebra and symbolic computation, combinatorial optimization, randomised algorithms, parallel and distributed algorithms and pattern matching. The research in the cluster extended the solution methods rather than merely applying them.Solution methods were validated through a mixture of experimentation on real-life data stemming from the application and theoretical analysis.
