We study a representative task allocation problem called shortest paths: Let G be a graph in which the edges are owned by self interested agents. The cost of each edge is privatel...
We study the average number of delays suffered by packets routed using greedy (work conserving) scheduling policies. We obtain tight bounds on the worst-case average number of del...
Abstract. Given a simple n-sided polygon in the plane with a boundary partitioned into subchains some of which are convex and colored, we consider the following problem: Which is t...
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. The detour between two points, p and q (on edges or vertices) of G, is the ratio between the shortest path in G between...

We consider the following scenario. A point robot is placed at some start location ¡ in a 2dimensional scene containing oriented rectangular obstacles. The robot must repeatedly ...
