Advanced data structures is a core course in Computer Science which most graduate program in Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, and other allied engineering disciplines, offer during the first year or first semester of the curriculum. The objective of this course is to enable students to have the much-needed foundation for advanced technical skill, leading to better problem-solving in their respective disciplines. Although the course is running in almost all the technical universities for decades, major changes in the syllabus have been observed due to the recent paradigm shift of computation which is more focused on huge data and internet-based technologies.

高级数据结构是计算机科学的核心课程，大多数计算机科学、计算机科学与工程以及其他相关工程学科的研究生课程都在课程的第一年或第一学期提供。这门课程的目的是使学生具备所需的高级技术技能基础，从而在各自学科中更好地解决问题。尽管这门课程在几乎所有的技术大学都开设了几十年，但由于最近计算范式的转变，教学大纲发生了重大变化，计算范式更侧重于海量数据和基于互联网的技术。
