Our goal is to provide the most current information in each of the following eleven subfields in a form that is accessible to students, faculty, and professionals in computer science:  \nalgorithms, architecture, computational science, graphics, human-computer interaction, information management, intelligent systems, net-centric computing, operating systems, programming languages, and software engineering  \nEach of the eleven sections of the Handbook is dedicated to one of these subfields. In addition, the appendices provide useful information about professional organizations in computer science, standards, and languages. Different points of access to this rich collection of theory and practice are provided through the table of contents, two introductory chapters, a comprehensive subject index, and additional indexes.  \nA more complete overview of this Handbook can be found in Chapter 1, which summarizes the contents of each of the eleven sections.
