A collection of 26 papers from the Second International Workshop on Randomization and Approximation Techniques in Computer Science. It covers: graph computation; derandomization; pattern matching; computational geometry; approximation and search algorithms; sorting; and networking algorithms. |
| Synopsis: |
TheWorkshoponRandomizationandApproximationTechniquesinComputer Science, Random'98, focuses on algorithmic and complexity aspects arising inthedevelopmentofe cientrandomizedsolutionstocomputationallydi cult problems.
