I greatly appreciated the source code (probably FORTRAN) that I found in a university library in the late 80's. I seem to remember a book of microfiche with many basic algorithm's published on the basis that it was developed with US government with federal money and hence needed to published. So as an Australian I was very grateful for the implementation of Hungarian method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_algorithm) that I used to write a Turbo-Pascal implementation for rostering problems.
Anyone remember the name of the book/folder and the publisher?
- softgrow 4y agoActually had the source code still kicking around on my laptop and it had a comment {ACSM Algorithm 415} which I think means, Communications of the ACM, Volume 14, Issue 12, Dec. 1971 pp 805–806 https://doi.org/10.1145/362919.362948 https://doi.org/10.1145/362919.362948 , its Pascal-ish pseudo-code with jumps/labels. So maybe the ACM was being generous not the US government.
