"For me, great algorithms are the poetry of computation. Just like verse, they can be terse, allusive, dense, and even mysterious. But once unlocked, they cast a brilliant new light on some aspect of computing."
- Francis Sullivan

Study of algorithms is at the core of Computer Science. It is very significant in classification of problems and their solutions based on complexity. Analysis of algorithms provides a means for choosing an appropriate algorithm for solving a problem at hand. It also provides an insight into all aspects of computational complexity and the use, design, analysis and experimentation of efficient algorithms and data structures. The better understanding paves way for successful implementations in various scientific applications. Several algorithm design paradigms have been developed over decades for solving large computational problems.
The Workshop on Design and Analysis of Algorithms aims to empower Engineering College Teachers to teach this core topic more effectively for M.Tech students. The Workshop will focus on various advanced paradigms and approaches used to analyse and design algorithms.
The workshop is conducted by the Trivandrum chapter of ACM, as one of the initiatives by ACM India Education, in association with the Indian Association for Computer Science Research (IARCS) and Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K), Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) during April 24-29, 2015 at IIITM-K, Technopark,Trivandrum.
Course Content (Tentative)
- Various Algorithm Design Strategies
- Complexity Analysis Techniques
- Overview of P, NP Problems
- Amortized Analysis
- Network Flow Algorithms
- Geometric Algorithms
- Number-Theoretic Algorithms
- Complexity Classes in Randomized Algorithms - RP, PP, ZPP, BPP
- Graph Algorithms
The emphasis will be on problem solving, applications, motivational examples and pedagogical methods.
The workshop will relate these topics to the M.Tech syllabus of Kerala University to equip teachers to teach this course more effectively.
Who can Attend:
Teachers from Computer Science/Information Technology Departments of Engineering Colleges and individuals working in industry or R&D organisations are eligible to attend this programme.
Full-time Research Scholars are also eligible.
The participants must be familiar with topics in at least a first course on data structures and algorithms. They should also be familiar with analyzing algorithms.

How to Reach
Venue: Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K)
IIITM-K is an autonomous premier educational institution established by Government of Kerala in the year 2000. It is a multidisciplinary premier postgraduate institute conforming to the needs of building capacity at advanced levels of Computer Science and IT. IIITM-K is located amidst the serene and lush green landscape of Technopark Campus in Thiruvananthapuram.
Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram is the IT hub of the State of Kerala. It is the first Electronics Technology Park of its kind in the country initiated with 100% Government equity. Spread over nearly 300 acres with 4 million sq. ft. of built-up space available currently, Technopark hosts over 245 IT and ITES companies employing over 32,000 IT professionals, including five PCMM level 5 company, 6 CMMI level 5 and four CMM Level 3 and over 20 ISO 9001 certified companies.
The Technopark is on the National Highway (NH 47) to Ernakulam, adjacent to the University of Kerala's Kariavattom Campus and is about 8 Kms from the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. Situated on the National Highway, regular bus services link Technopark with commercial Centers, research institutions and other urban centers.
