Abstract

Anecdotal evidence shows that developing correct and efficient implementations of fundamental data structures and algorithms is a challenging task. We discuss educational and research issues in algorithm engineering. Topics include algorithmic patterns, the development of a library of data structures and algorithms in Java, and the use of design patters in teaching introductory data structures courses.
