Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science

This volume presents the proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science (WG '88), held from June 15 to 17, 1988 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It contains 31 papers on new or current developments in the area of graph-based algorithms. The topics covered include e.g. structural graph theory, parallel graph algorithms, graph-based modeling (in database theory and VLSI), computational geometry and applied graph theory. The book contains the revised versions of all the papers presented at the workshop. The revisions are based on comments and suggestions received by the authors during and after the workshop.
