Abstract:

Richard C. Waters Chapter 3 \"Implementing Queues in Lisp\" (co-authored by P.~Norvig) presents several different algorithms for implementing queues in Lisp. It discusses why the obvious list-based implementation of queues is inefficient and the particular situations where more complex implementations are appropriate.
