We consider the stochastic variant of the Canadian Traveler's Problem, a path planning problem where adverse weather can cause some roads to be untraversable. The agent does ...
Various problems in machine learning, databases, and statistics involve pairwise distances among a set of objects. It is often desirable for these distances to satisfy the propert...
We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...

The Network Interdiction Problem involves interrupting an adversary's ability to maximize flow through a capacitated network by destroying portions of the network. A budget c...
We study the usefulness of lookahead in online server routing problems: if an online algorithm is not only informed about the requests released so far, but also has a limited abil...
