IIT Guwahati Offers:

QIP SHORT TERM COURSE

Data Structures & Algorithms

July 4^th –8^th, 2011

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati

North Guwahati, Guwahati - 781 039

BACKGROUND

Teachers and professional engineers need to be introduced the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms. Computers are essential now a day for many real world applications. But we can only take the proper advantage of it provided we can efficiently use it for that purpose. So in this short term course we want to emphasize on different algorithm design paradigms for real world problems and the use of data structure for the efficient implementation of those algorithms.

In this course teachers/scientists/engineers are given a complete understanding of applications of computers for real world problems. This course helps the participants in understanding the capabilities and limitations of a computing device. A wide variety of applications arising in different practical situations and for research purpose will be covered.

COURSE CONTENTS

The course will begin with an introduction to algorithm design and analysis. The application areas that are likely to be covered are as follows:

· Data Structures

· Graphs

· String Matching and Bioinformatics

· Computational Geometry

· Parallel Algorithms and Architectures

· Combinatorial Algorithms

· Graphics

The course will also contain a lab component in which the implementations of various algorithms have to be carried out.

FACULTY

Faculty members of IIT Guwahati and guest faculty members from other premier Institution/ Organization will deliver lectures.

COURSE MATERIAL

Each registered participant will be provided with a set of comprehensive lecture notes.

ABOUT IIT GUWAHATI

IIT Guwahati campus is spread over a sprawling 285 hectares plot of land on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra around 25 km from the heart of the city.
