The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures (http://www.nist.gov/dads/) is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures.

Note: Many, but not all, of the definitions in the Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures are in the public domain, since they were written by employees of the U.S. Federal Government acting as agents of the government. However, some are contributed by outside contributors, and are therefore not in the public domain. Please only submit material from this work to Wikipedia when you have confirmed that this particular item is in the public domain.

This list of terms was originally derived from the index of this document, and should be in the public domain, as it was compiled by a Federal Government employee as part of a Federal Government work. Some of the terms defined are: Contents: Top - A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
