On the advantage over a random assignment
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...

A scalable simulator for forest dynamics
Models of forest ecosystems are needed to understand how climate and land-use change can impact biodiversity. In this paper we describe an individual-based, spatially-explicit for...

Cheap or Flexible Sensor Coverage
We consider dual classes of geometric coverage problems, in which disks, corresponding to coverage regions of sensors, are used to cover a region or set of points in the plane. The...

Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems with Controllable Processing Times
We consider the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m identical machines that operate in parallel. Each job has a controllable processing time. The fact that the jobs have...
