How can we efficiently find a clustering, i.e. a concise description of the cluster structure, of a given data set which contains an unknown number of clusters of different shape ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining polynomial and exponential decay aggregates of a data stream, where the weight of values seen from the stream diminishes as time el...
Abstract. We present hardness results, approximation heuristics, and exact algorithms for bottleneck labeled optimization problems arising in the context of graph theory. This long...
We give a quick overview of some key issues in (quantitative) call center management: building realistic models, developing efficient tools to simulate these models, finding qui...
We study the preemptive scheduling problem of a set of n jobs with release times and equal processing times on a single machine. The objective is to minimize the sum of the weighte...
