Multimedia Computing and Networking 2002

The term “Multimedia” obviously covers a lot of different topics. Compression is one of them, and there is certainly a great deal to learn about compression and media formats at this conference.

Notes on suffix tree construction

Notes on suffix tree construction, some course notes for COMP 612: Graduate Seminar in Compiler Construction, includes some pointers to important papers.

DataCompression.info user David D. had this complaint: None of the links work on this page, all there is is a short paragraph on suffix trees. I have to agree, it’s a rather strange page.
