"E?ziente Algorithmen" was the title of the ?rst book by Kurt
Mehlhorn in 1977. It was meant as a text for graduate students and
published in German by Teubner-Verlag. We decided to adopt this
title 32 years later for this Festschrift in honor of Kurt on the
occasion of his 60th birthday. It contains contributions by his
former PhD students, many of whom are now university teachers
themselves, and colleagues with whom he cooperated closely within
his career. It is our pleasure that even Kurt's former PhD advisor,
Bob Constable from Cornell
University,kindlyagreedtocontribute.Manyofthecontributionswerepresented
at a colloquium held in Kurt's honor on August 27 and 28, 2009 in
Saarbrucken, Germany. This Festschriftshowsclearlyhowthe ?eld
ofalgorithmicshas developedand matured in the decades since Kurt
wrote his book with the same title. The classic approach based on
discrete mathematics and computability and complexity theory
continues to be the foundation of the ?eld with ever new and
important challenges as the ?rst chapters of this Festschrift show.
Kurt has contributed signi?cantly to classical algorithmics and
gained worldwide repu- tion. Starting from research in
computability theory in his PhD thesis he made major contributions
to complexity theory, graph algorithms, data structures, and was
one of the ?rst to recognize the signi?cance of computational
geometry contributing one of the early textbooks on the subject.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Algorithm Engineering, WAE 2000, held in Saarbrücken, Germany in September 2000. The 19 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 30 submissions. Among the topics addressed are software repositories allowing for the use and experimentation with efficient discrete algorithms; novel uses of discrete algorithms; methodological issues on algorithms and data structures; and methodological issues on converting user requirements into efficient algorithmic and implementation solutions.
