' An efficient assignment of tasks to the processors is imperative for achieving a fast job turnaround time in a parallel or distributed enviornment. The assignment problem is...
We study a version of the β-assignment problem [3] on asynchronous rings: consider a set of items and a set of m colors, where each item is associated to one color. Consider also...

The assignment problem originally arising from parallel and distributed computing has been investigated intensively since the 70’s when Harold Stone proposed a method to solve i...
Abstract--Max-product "belief propagation" (BP) is an iterative, message-passing algorithm for finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) assignment of a discrete probability...
Combinatorial auctions, that is, auctions where bidders can bid on combinations of items, tend to lead to more efficient allocations than traditional auction mechanisms in multi-i...
