A Grid-enabled Branch and Bound Algorithm for Solving Challenging Combinatorial Optimization Problems
Solving optimally large instances of combinatorial optimization problems requires a huge amount of computational resources. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the parallel...

Computing Optimal Contracts in Series-Parallel Heterogeneous Combinatorial Agencies
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...

Optimal, Distributed Decision-Making: The Case of no Communication
We present a combinatorial framework for the study of a natural class of distributed optimization problems that involve decisionmaking by a collection of n distributed agents in th...

A Non-Exact Approach and Experiment Studies on the Combinatorial Auction Problem
In this paper we formulate a combinatorial auction brokering problem as a set packing problem and apply a simulated annealing heuristic with hybrid local moves to solve the proble...

Exhaustive Search, Combinatorial Optimization and Enumeration: Exploring the Potential of Raw Computing Power
For half a century since computers came into existence, the goal of finding elegant and efficient algorithms to solve "simple" (welldefined and well-structured) problems ...
