  3. – Where? Turing 0+1

  4. Algorithms and Data Structures– Courses? Introductory • Algorithms and Data Structures 1+2 (Brodal) Advanced • ComputationalGeometry (2010, Q1+Q2) (Brodal) • Advanced Data Structures (2011, Q1+Q2) (Brodal) • I/O Algorithms (2011, Q3+Q4) (Arge) AdvancedPhDcourses (by Post Docs) • Advanced Computational Geometry (2008, Q4) (Abam, Rao, Ajwani) • Advanced Randomized Algorithms (2009, Q4) (Abam, Afshani,Ajwani, Hachenberger) • Advanced Range Searching (2010, Q3) (Afshani) • I/O-Efficient Graph Algorithms (2010, Q3) (Zeh, Sitchinava, Ajwani) • Lower Bounds and Information Theory (2010, Q2) (Verbin) • Streaming Algorithms (2011, Q4) (Zhang, Lee)

  5. Algorithms and Data Structures– Research? • Theoretical computer science • assumptotic analysis • Tool development • I/O algorithms (TPIE, TerraSTREAM) • Algorithm engineering • primarily in relation to master thesis • Seminars – students very welcome ! • MADALGO seminar • open problem sessions

  6. Algorithms and Data Structures– Types of Master Thesis? • Solve a concrete practical problem • …using algorithmic techniques • Survey of a research area • Implement a technical paper • ...fill in the missing details • ...perform experiments • Explain all (missing) details in a technical paper • ...how 8 pages become +100 pages • Experimental comparison of algorithms • The clever idea: A new algorithm • Examples: www.cs.au.dk/~gerth/cv/#Advising

  7. Algorithms and Data Structures– Master ThesisWork? • Large fraction of time spend on trying to understand technical complicated constructions • Implementations are often an ”existence proof” – most algorithm authors do not implement their algorithms (and did they ever think about the missing details?) • Hard to convince friends that it took you ½ year to understand an 8 page paper...

  8. Algorithms and Data Structures– Master ThesisExamples? • David Kjær Range median algorithms • Jonas Suhr Christensen Experimental study of kinetic geometric t-spanner algorithms • Henrik B. Kirk Searching with dynamic optimality: In theory and practice • Krzysztof Piatkowski Implementering og udvikling af maksimum delsum algoritmer • Claus Andersen An optimal minimum spanning tree algorithm • Jonas Maturana Larsen and Michael Nielsen En undersøgelse af algoritmer til løsning af generalized movers problem i 3D

  9. ! Warning ! Nontrivial construction ahead of you ! Warning ! Need to understand another paper first Hidden work...
