ALCOM-FT has brought together eleven of the leading groups in algorithms research in Europe in a project aiming at discovering new algorithmic concepts, identifying key algorithmic problems in applications, and contributing to the transfer of advanced algorithmic techniques into commercial systems. The focus of the project has been a combination of application oriented research in three important areas - massive data sets, massive and complex communication, and complex problems in production and planning - with innovative methodological work on experimental algorithmic and generic algorithmic methods.
The largest deliverable is "Research reports", which constitutes a total of 538 scientific reports produced during the project period. This high productivity has not been achieved at the cost of quality, as can be seen by the fact that at least 410 of the 538 reports have already been published in the scientific community via key conferences and journals, including the most prestigious in the world.
The set of deliverables also contains a number of software projects contributing to the transfer of advanced algorithmic methods into practice. These are:
- A library for external memory computation with a functionality similar to the widely used STL C++ library;
- A demonstration package for methods in data mining;
- A LEDA Extension Package for distributed algorithmic engineering, to facilitating simulation of large, hierarchical, or mobile networks and development of network optimisation methods for resource allocation;
- A BSP-style library which allows efficient implementation of BSP-style programs in dynamic distributed environments;
- Software for production and transportation planning, along with a database containing real-life problem instances from the same area;
- A completed software system (SCIL) for structured combinatorial optimisation problems, including high-level constraints and their separation routines;
- A set of tools for executing, documenting, visualizing, and reproducing algorithmic experiments. Further dissemination efforts of the ALCOM-FT project include arrangement of eight summer schools, arrangement of several conferences and workshops (among these the 2000, 2001, and 2002 versions of ALGO, the premier algorithmic event in Europa), creation of a project web site and two web sites disseminating algorithmic knowledge, and industrial talks on algorithmic issues.
