Volume 2013/2014
Education
MSc Programme in Computer Science
Content
The purpose of this course is to give an overview of the state-of-the art research within the area of algorithms and data structures.

A set of topics will aim to reflect the state-of-the-art research and applications within the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. Particular topics will change from year to year.
Important: See the course home page for information on the topics covered in a particular year.
Learning Outcome
knowledge: The student will after the course master several state-of-the-art algorithm techniques.
comptences: The students will after the course be more capable of reading and understand on own hand research articles.
skills: The students will after the course know several state-of-the-art algorithms.
Literature
