Incremental computation concerns the re-computation of output after a change in the input, whereas algorithms and programs usually derive their output directly from their input. This book investigates the concept of incremental computation and dynamic algorithms in general and provides a variety of new results, especially for computational problems from graph theory: the author presents e.g. efficient incremental algorithms for several shortest-path problems as well as incremental algorithms for the circuit value annotation problem and for various computations in reducible flow graphs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems, APLAS 2008, held in Bangalore, India, in December 2008. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The symposium is devoted to all topics ranging from foundational to practical issues in programming languages and systems. The papers cover topics such as semantics, logics, foundational theory, type systems, language design, program analysis, optimization, transformation, software security, safety,...
