With recent technological advances in workstations, graphics, graphical user interfaces, and object oriented programming languages, a significant number of researchers are developing general-purpose software and integrated software systems for domains in discrete mathematics, including graph theory, combinatorics, combinatorial optimization, and sets. This software aims to provide effective computational tools for research, applications prototyping, and teaching. In March 1992, DIMACS sponsored a workshop on Computational Support for Discrete Mathematics in order to facilitate interactions between the researchers, developers, and educators who work in these areas. Containing refereed papers based on talks presented at the workshop, this volume documents current and past research in these areas and should provide impetus for new interactions.
Contains papers based on talks given at a DIMACS workshop held at Rutgers U., March 1992. The workshop was designed to facilitate working relationships among a diverse group of researchers concerned with the development of software for various aspects of experimental discrete mathematics. Their goal is to provide effective computational tools for research, applications, prototyping, and various levels of education. The papers include descriptions of current software for discrete mathematics, experience with specific implementation issues, experimental techniques and results, and applications. No index.
