A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

The team proposed Graph-Decomposed k -NN Searching Algorithm to improve the time-efficiency of nearest nodes searching. In the research, A graph-decomposed tree is constructed from road network.

If you haven't heard of Dijkstra's algorithm before, the idea is that the algorithm can be used to calculate the shortest path between two locations. In the project designed by Eveleigh, the idea ...

“The new algorithm is a remarkable tour de force,” said Giuseppe Italiano, a computer scientist at Luiss University and a co-author of the 1996 paper describing what is now the second-fastest ...
