Abstract

Algorithm engineering consists of the design, analysis, implementation and experimental evaluation of practicable algorithms. Research in this direction can be done both in a lab environment and in a real world application. Experience shows that there are significant differences in methodology between these two settings. This paper will illustrate them on two selected applications and highlight some of the main differences from the viewpoint of algorithm engineering.

Zusammenfassung

Das Algorithm Engineering behandelt Entwurf, Analyse, Implementierung und experimentelle Bewertung von praktikablen Algorithmen. Dies kann sowohl in einer Laborumgebung wie in einer industriellen Anwendung geschehen. Die Erfahrung zeigt jedoch, dass zwischen diesen beiden Szenarien große Unterschiede im methodischen Vorgehen bestehen. Dieser Artikel illustriert diese an zwei ausgewählten Anwendungen und arbeitet einige wesentliche Unterschiede aus der Sicht des Algorithm Engineering heraus.
