This volume contains the texts of the principal survey papers
presented at ALGORITHMS -and ORDER, held. at Ottawa, Canada from
June 1 to June 12, 1987. The conference was supported by grants
from the N.A.T.O. Advanced Study Institute programme, the
University of Ottawa, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering
Research Council of Canada. We are grateful for this considerable
support. Over fifty years ago, the Symposium on Lattice Theory, in
Charlottesville, U.S.A., proclaimed the vitality of ordered sets.
Only twenty years later the Symposium on Partially Ordered Sets and
Lattice Theory, held at Monterey, U.S.A., had solved many of the
problems that had been originally posed. In 1981, the Symposium on
Ordered Sets held at Banff, Canada, continued this tradition. It
was marked by a landmark volume containing twenty-three articles on
almost all current topics in the theory of ordered sets and its
applications. Three years after, Graphs and Orders, also held at
Banff, Canada, aimed to document the role of graphs in the theory
of ordered sets and its applications. Because of its special place
in the landscape of the mathematical sciences order is especially
sensitive to new trends and developments. Today, the most important
current in the theory and application of order springs from
theoretical computer seience. Two themes of computer science lead
the way. The first is data structure. Order is common to data
structures."
