Grishma Pandey, G. L. Prajapati . Applying Bi-Directional Search Strategy in Selected String Matching Algorithms. International Journal of Computer Applications. 143, 11 ( Jun 2016), 40-43. DOI=10.5120/ijca2016910474
String matching is an important problem in computer science having several practical applications. In this paper, we apply bi-directional searching mechanism in exact string matching algorithms: Boyer Moore, Brute Force, Knuth- Morris Pratt, and Rabin Karp. Experiments show that this strategy leads to better efficiency of these string matching algorithm.
