Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science

Graph-theoretic concepts are developed by computer scientists in order to model algorithms, nets, rewriting systems, distributed systems, parallelism, geometric and layout concepts. Their complexity is studied under various randomness assumptions. This volume contains contributions to the twelfth of a series of annual workshops designed to bring together researchers using graph-theoretic methods. Its purpose is to broadcast emerging new developments from and to a diversity of application fields. The topics covered include: Graph Grammars, Graph Manipulation, Nets, Complexity Issues, Algorithmic and Network Considerations, Outerplanar Graphs, Graph Isomorphism, Parallelism and Distributed Systems, Graphs and Geometry, Randomness Considerations, Applications in Chemistry, Specific Algorithms.

Dr. Gunther Schmidt gilt international als einer der maßgeblichen Pioniere in der Entwicklung einer Integration systemischer (auch familientherapeutischer) Modelle und der kompetenzfokussierenden Konzepte Erickson'scher Hypnotherapie zu einem ganzheitlich-lösungsfokussierenden Konzept für Beratung und Psychotherapie. Im deutschsprachigen Raum begründete er mit seinen, durch Milton Erickson angeregten Beiträgen die 'lösungsorientierte Wende' in der systemischen Familientherapie ebenso wie den Aufbau kompetenz- und lösungsorientierter Kurzzeittherapie im Bereich z.B. von Suchtproblemen, Psychosomatik und der Therapie von massiv traumatisierten Menschen. Die von ihm entwickelten systemisch- hypnotherapeutischen Modelle für Organisationsberatung, Team- und Gruppenarbeit und Coaching tragen wesentlich zu einem intensivierten ressourcenorientierten Beratungsverständnis bei. 2011 wurde Schmidt für sein Lebenswerk mit dem Life Achivement Award ausgezeichnet.
