The problem of task assignment naturally arises in multiagent multitask systems, where an optimal matching of agents and tasks is sought. This problem is a combinatorial optimizati...
In this paper we address the problem of constrained optimization (ILP formulation) and propose a set of heuristic algorithms for assigning light-trails [1–4,7,10] to WDM ring ne...
In the rank join problem we are given a relational join R1 1 R2 and a function that assigns numeric scores to the join tuples, and the goal is to return the tuples with the highes...
Given a network and a set of connection requests on it, we consider the maximum edge-disjoint paths and related generalizations and routing problems that arise in assigning paths f...
Motivated by online ad allocation, we study the problem of simultaneous approximations for the adversarial and stochastic online budgeted allocation problem. This problem consists...
