Algorithms on Strings

June 2007
Available
Hardback
9780521848992

    The book is intended for lectures on string processes and pattern matching in Master's courses of computer science and software engineering curricula. The details of algorithms are given with correctness proofs and complexity analysis, which make them ready to implement. Algorithms are described in a C-like language. The book is also a reference for students in computational linguistics or computational biology. It presents examples of questions related to the automatic processing of natural language, to the analysis of molecular sequences, and to the management of textual databases.

    • Few books on the topic, some of which are research monographs or conference proceedings, not suitable for teaching
    • Well adapted to Master's courses on algorithms or text processing
    • Many concepts and examples explained in 135 figures

    Reviews & endorsements

    '… perfect for lectures on 'stringology', for graduate students as a reference on the topic and for appliers in linguistic or molecular biology …' Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum

    'This is a good book on string matching and other related algorithms, especially from the theoretical point of view. … The material is well explained and the treatment of the subjects covered is quite complete. … Overall, this book will be of interest to people doing research in combinatorial biology and computational linguistics.' Mathematical Reviews

    • Maxime Crochemore

      Professor Maxime Crochemore received his PhD in 1978 and his Doctorat d'état in 1983 at the University of Rouen. He got his first professorship position at the University of Paris-Nord in 1975 where he acted as President of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for two years. He became professor at the University Paris 7 in 1989 and was involved in the creation of the University of Marne-la-Vallée where he is presently Professor. He also created the Computer Science research laboratory of this university in 1991, which has now more than fifty permanent researchers. He was the director of the laboratory until 2005. Professor Crochemore is Senior Research Fellow at King's College London since 2002.
