What Are Algorithms and Flowcharts?. Algorithms and flowcharts are two tools a software developer uses when creating new programs. An algorithm is a step-by-step recipe for processing data; it ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

If integrated into adaptive cruise-control systems, a new algorithm could mitigate the type of freeway backup that seems to occur for no reason.

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

This algorithm improves the best previous strongly polynomial time algorithm, due to Z. Galil and E. Tardos, by a factor of n2/m. Our algorithm for the capacitated minimum cost flow problem is even ...

One way of writing an algorithm is as a flowchart. Flowcharts use symbols to represent how the system works and help the programmer come up with the right set of instructions.

A new algorithm has shown in simulations that traffic jams can be considerably reduced — even if just 10 percent of cars on the road follow its guidelines.

Their algorithm efficiently solves the maximum-flow problem, which seeks to determine how to transport as many goods through a network as possible without exceeding the capacity of the individual ...
