The Burrows-Wheeler Transform is a text transformation scheme that has found applications in different aspects of the data explosion problem, from data compression to index structures and search. The BWT belongs to a new class of compression algorithms, distinguished by its ability to perform compression by sorted contexts. More recently, the BWT has also found various applications in addition to text data compression, such as in lossless and lossy image compression, tree-source identification, bioinformatics, machine translation, shape matching, and test data compression. This book will serve as a reference for seasoned professionals or researchers in the area, while providing a gentle introduction, making it accessible for senior undergraduate students or first year graduate students embarking upon research in compression, pattern matching, full text retrieval, compressed index structures, or other areas related to the BWT. Key Features Comprehensive resource for information related to different aspects of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform including: Gentle introduction to the BWT History of the development of the BWT Detailed theoretical analysis of algorithmic issues and performance limits Searching on BWT compressed data Hardware architectures for the BWT Explores non-traditional applications of the BWT in areas such as: Bioinformatics Joint source-channel coding Modern information retrieval Machine translation Test data compression forsystems-on-chip Teaching materials ideal for classroom use on courses in: Data Compression and Source Coding Modern Information Retrieval Information Science Digital Libraries more...

CAMD or Computer Aided Molecular Design refers to the design of molecules with desirable properties. That is, through CAMD, one determines molecules that match a specified set of (target) properties. CAMD as a technique has a very large potential as in principle, all kinds of chemical, bio-chemical and material products can be designed through this technique. This book mainly deals with macroscopic properties and therefore does not cover molecular design of large, complex chemicals such as drugs. While books have been written on computer aided molecular design relating to drugs and large complex chemicals, a book on systematic formulation of CAMD problems and solutions, with emphasis on theory and practice, which helps one to learn, understand and apply the technique is currently unavailable. more...
