We consider the problem of estimating the tour length and finding approximation algorithms for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem arising from the disk scheduling problem. ...
We consider a problem faced by train companies: How can trains be assigned to satisfy scheduled routes in a cost efficient way? Currently, many railway companies create solutions b...
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

The use of heuristics as a means to improve constraint solver performance has been researched widely. However, most work has been on problem-independentheuristics (e.g., variable ...

We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
