Received 8 August 2006; revised 13 November 2006

A survey of the most important and general techniques in parameterized algorithm design is given. Each technique is explained with a meta-algorithm, its use is illustrated by examples, and it is placed in a taxonomy under the four main headings of branching, kernelization, induction and win/win.

Key Words: Parameterized algorithms • fixed-parameter tractability
