! a compilation that will appeal to professionals and students alike; together with those engaged in research and especially those contemplating embarking upon research. ! This second edition contains twenty-one new chapters and a thorough updating and revision of many of the chapters from the first edition. A consistent style has been adopted ! the sections detailing research issues and sources for further information will ensure that this edition remains an excellent reference source for years to come. I recommend this text as both a teaching aid and a reference source whose utility can only but increase in the coming years. --International Statistical Review (2011), 79, 1 The detailed treatment of algorithmic foundations for various subfields of computer science makes the handbook relevant for abroad community of researchers in computer science, operations research, and optimization ... the handbook is a useful reference and presents a broad outlook on the vast field of algorithms and the theory of computation. --Computing Reviews, May 2010 Praise for the First Edition ! excellent survey of the state of the art ! highly recommended for anyone interested in algorithms, data structures and the theory of computation ! indispensable book of reference for all computer scientists, researchers and professional programmers. --R.
