The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 48, No. 8 (Aug., 1997), pp. 804-809 (6 pages) A new algorithm for the generalised assignment problem is described in this paper. The algorithm is ...

Reviewer assignment algorithms and systems have emerged as critical tools in modern academic publishing and research evaluation, ensuring that submitted manuscripts are matched with expert reviewers ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models are integral to modern transportation research, offering frameworks to predict and optimise the flow of vehicles over time within complex networks. These models ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Quantum physicists have developed an algorithm that uses a single qubit to solve a problem that had previously needed thousands of them. Quantum computing offers the hope of dramatic increases in ...
