We apply and extend the priority algorithm framework introduced by Borodin, Nielsen, and Rackoff to define "greedy-like" algorithms for the (uncapacitated) facility locat...
Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
Suppose we are given a set of objects that cover a region and a duration associated with each object. Viewing the objects as jobs, can we schedule their beginning times to maximiz...

In this paper we present a genetic algorithm-based heuristic for solving the set partitioning problem (SPP). The SPP is an important combinatorial optimisation problem used by man...
Abstract. We consider a generalization of the set cover problem, in which elements are covered by pairs of objects, and we are required to find a minimum cost subset of objects th...
