Data Structures

In this chapter we discuss the choice of data structures for the different application parts. Next to the top-level design, this is the most important aspect that must be specified correctly right from the beginning of a project. The wrong choice of a data structure may mean significant re-work in order to change some deficiency later on, while on the other hand a good data structure design can simplify the coding process and can lead to a very efficient implementation.
