The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

In recent years, the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model has gained significant attention. However, most of distributed and parallel graph algorithms in the MPC model are designed for static ...

Hu and Torres have proposed a decomposition algorithm for finding the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes in a sparse network in which subnetworks are linearly overlapped. The purpose of this ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

We present a probabilistic greedy search method for combinatorial optimisation problems. This approach is implemented and evaluated for the Set Covering Problem (SCP) and shown to yield a simple, ...
