This volume is the proceedings of the first International Workshop on
Orders, Algorithms, and Applications, held at Lyon, France in July
1994.
Ordered sets and the more specifically algorithmic aspects of order
theory are of increasing importance, for example in graph theory. They
enjoy a recognized place in computer science as well as in mathematics,
due to various new developments in the last few years. The nine
technical papers accepted for this volume and the four invited papers
presented offer a representative perspective on theoretical and
applicational aspects of orders and related algorithms.
