  • Book Details
     
     
    DIMACS - Series in Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science
    Volume: 23; 1996; 271 pp
    MSC: Primary 65; 90; 92

    This book contains refereed papers presented at a remarkable interdisciplinary scientific meeting attended by a mix of leading biochemists and computer scientists held at DIMACS in March 1995. It describes the development of a variety of new methods which are being developed for attacking the important problem of molecular structure.

    Features:

    • Focuses on global optimization algorithms and heuristics for molecular conformation and protein folding problems
    • Presents the most efficient recent algorithms
    • Covers a spectrum of algorithmic issues and applications

    Co-published with the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science beginning with Volume 8. Volumes 1–7 were co-published with the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM).
    Readership

    Graduate students and researchers in mathematics, molecular biology, biochemistry, computer science, engineering, and operations.
