ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It has been almost two years since we started writing a book about advanced data structures. This book was kept on track and seen to completion with the support and encouragement of numerous family members, friends, colleagues, teachers, and students. It is a pleasure to express our thanks to all those who contributed in so many ways to our publication success.

We are very thankful to Dr. Amit Chattopadhyay of the International Institute of Information Technology in Bangalore for reviewing our work and writing a favorable foreword message. Our heartfelt thanks also extend to our friends and colleagues for their help and encouragement.

We express our sincere thanks to the students and colleagues of Jaypee University of Information Technology, Solan, Himachal. We also appreciate the excellent work of the editorial and production teams of CRC Press and Taylor & Francis. Thanks are also due to all the reviewers who evaluated this book and provided suggestions and advice.

Readers’ constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement may be emailed to suman.saha@juit.ac.in or shailendra.shukla@juit.ac.in.
