Subject: [ruby-talk:02515] Any good books for graph library?

Hi, ruby-talkers
(A Japanese version of this mail is sent to `ruby-list.')

I'm working on a *prototype* of a `graph' library.

Now that basic functions (directed/undirected graph, walk/path)
are implemented, I need some good books about data structures,
algorithms and object oriented designs for them.

requirements:
* From basic graph/network to B-tree and AVL-tree. (at least)
* A set of sample code is not necessary required.
  But practical (efficient) designs are needed.
* An object oriented framework for graph library.

Any suggestions? (I'll order it at an on-line book store)

Thanks in advance.

P.S.

A basic concept is...
(1) a framework to provide graph functions
(2) any objects are allowed for vertex(node)/edge(link)
