Cluster Tree Elimination for Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Guarantees
Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...

The Finite Capacity Dial-A-Ride Problem
In the Finite Capacity Dial-a-Ride problem the input is a metric space, a set of objects {di}, each specifying a source si and a destination ti, and an integer k--the capacity of t...

Generalized Watchman Route Problem with Discrete View Cost
In this paper, we introduce a generalized version of the Watchman Route Problem (WRP) where the objective is to plan a continuous closed route in a polygon (possibly with holes) a...
