Ebook: Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science: 29th International Workshop, WG 2003. Elspeet, The Netherlands, June 19-21, 2003. Revised Papers

The 29th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science(WG2003)washeldintheMennorodeconferenceCenterinElspeet,The Netherlands.TheworkshopwasorganizedbytheCenterforAlgorithmicSystems of the Institute of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht University. The workshop took place June 19–21, 2003. The 72 participants of WG 2003 came from universities and research institutes from 18 di?erent countries and ?ve di?erent continents. The workshop looks back at a long tradition. It was ?rst held in 1975, and has been held 20 times in Germany, twice in Austria, and once in Italy, Slo- kia, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, and has now been held for the third time in The Netherlands. The workshop aims at uniting theory and practice by demonstrating how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied to various areas in computerscience,orbyextractingnewproblemsfromapplications.Itisdevoted to the theoretical and practical aspects of graph concepts in computer science. The goal is to present recent research results and to identify and explore - rections of future research. The talks given at the workshop showed how recent research results from algorithmic graph theory can be used in computer science and which graph-theoretic questions arise from new developments in computer science.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 29th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science, WG 2003, held in Elspeet, The Netherlands in June 2003.

The 30 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed, improved, and selected from 78 submissions. The papers present a wealth of new results for various classes of graphs, graph computations, graph algorithms, and graph-theoretical applications in various felds.
