We consider the vertex coloring problem, which may be stated as the problem of minimizing the number of labels that can be assigned to the vertices of a graph G such that each ver...
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for handling optimization problems with uncertain data. With the usual Robust Optimization paradigm, one looks for the decisions ensurin...
The Team Orienteering Problem is a routing problem on a graph with durations associated to the arcs and profits assigned to visiting the vertices. A fixed number of identical ve...
The 0 1 MultidimensionalKnapsack Problem (0 1 MKP) is a NP-complete problem. Its resolution for large scale instances requires a prohibitive processing time. In this paper we prop...
Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...
