This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Kurt Mehlhorn on the occasion of his 60th birthday, contains 28 papers written by his former Ph.D. students and colleagues as well as by his former Ph.D. advisor, Bob Constable. The volume's title is a translation of the title of Kurt Mehlhorn's first book, "Effiziente Algorithmen", published by Teubner-Verlag in 1977. This Festschrift demonstrates how the field of algorithmics has developed and matured in the decades since then. The papers included in this volume are organized in topical sections on models of computation and complexity; sorting and searching; combinatorial optimization with applications; computational geometry and geometric graphs; and algorithm engineering, exactness and robustness.

Due to its inherent time-scale locality characteristics, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has received considerable attention in signal/image processing. Wavelet transforms have excellent energy compaction characteristics and can provide perfect reconstruction. The shifting (translation) and scaling (dilation) are unique to wavelets. Orthogonality of wavelets with respect to dilations leads to multigrid representation. As the computation of DWT involves filtering, an efficient filtering process is essential in DWT hardware implementation. In the multistage DWT, coefficients are calculated recursively, and in addition to the wavelet decomposition stage, extra space is required to store the intermediate coefficients. Hence, the overall performance depends significantly on the precision of the intermediate DWT coefficients. This work presents new implementation techniques of DWT, that are efficient in terms of computation, storage, and with better signal-to-noise ratio in the reconstructed signal.

This book provides a systematic treatment of the theoretical foundation and algorithmic tools necessary in the design of energy-efficient algorithms and protocols in wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs). These problems addressed in the book are of both fundamental and practical importance. Specifically, the book delivers a comprehensive treatment on the following problems ranging from theoretical modeling and analysis, to practical algorithm design and optimization: energy-efficient clustering-based leader election algorithms in WBSNs; MAC protocol for duty-cycling WBSNs with concurrent traffic; multi-channel broadcast algorithms in duty-cycling WBSNs; and energy-efficient sleep scheduling algorithms in WBSNs. Target readers of the book are researchers and advanced-level engineering students interested in acquiring in-depth knowledge on the topic and on WBSNs and their applications, both from theoretical and engineering perspective.

A number of application scenarios benefit from using wireless sensor networks for monitoring, tracking and event detection. Since sensor nodes are small and energy-constrained and possess severely limited computational capabilities and memory resources, sensor networks require the development of a new generation of algorithms targeted at large-scale networks, unpredictably changing environments and constantly changing network topologies. Structures result from self-organization of the nodes in the network and are defined in terms of the cooperation between individual nodes. Many sensor network systems require constructing structures in order to perform correctly. This work focuses on both the development and study of structuring algorithms. We present new algorithms for several problems covering the distinctive characteristics of sensor networks: cooperative sensing, communication and location awareness. The problems are energy-efficient routing, time-bounded and space-bounded sensing, range-free boundary recognition, and hierarchical partitioning of the network.
