This paper considers the design of a survivable WDM network based on covering the initial network with sub-networks, which are protected independently from each other. We focus on...

Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
We consider a problem motivated by the design of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks. Given a physical network and an All-to-All traffic, the problem consists in designing a...
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) have emerged as an important model in economics and show promise as a useful tool for tackling resource allocation in AI. Unfortunately, winner determ...
We consider decentralized control of Markov decision processes and give complexity bounds on the worst-case running time for algorithms that find optimal solutions. Generalization...
