| Research Abstract |
The objective of this research project is to establish a new paradigm, "Algorithm Engineering", which offers high performance and flexible algorithms that can solve a wide variety of large-scale optimization problems in the practical sense, as well as the technology and methodology of algorithm development from the viewpoint of engineering.
Our project consists of the following four research areas : (A01) discrete optimization algorithm, (A02) graph algorithm, (A03) geometric algorithm, and (A04) parallel/distributed algorithm. This research group is for integrating these four research areas and conducting activities on the entire project. Some of our main activities are as follows :
1. Conference and Symposium
We held conferences twice a year (in spring and fall). As for the conference in October 2000, we held it as an international symposium, and invited 12 foreign researchers. In addition, we held an open symposium in October 2001.
2. Publication
In order to propagate the concept of "Algorithm Engineering" and introduce our research project, we published numbers of papers and books. Among these publications, a book entitled : "Algorithm Engineering --- A Challenge to Hard Computation Problems" was written by our 63 project members, and includes foundations of algorithm engineering, frameworks, the state-of-the-art and case studies.
3. Algorithm Database
We constructed Algorithm Database, which contains algorithms and software developed in our research project, and these are available via Internet. Currently more then 60 algorithms and demos are registered.
