It's OK to search forever, unless you are a program …

CSE Lecturer Candidate
While we may accept that the challenges of continuous personal improvement
and finding deep personal awareness may indeed take a lifetime, we expect
answers to our data analytic searches much more quickly.

In this demo lecture, we will build upon basic graph theoretic concepts
to discuss different models for effective searching on graphs. We
will consider the applicability of selected algorithms designed for graph
searching to solving related, but separate, problems. We will also discuss
how small programmatic changes and data structure selection can impact
run time performance.
