REPORT


COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION VOLUME 8

Through monographs and contributed works the objective of the series is to publish state of the art expository research covering all topics in the field of combinatorial optimization. In addition,

the series will include books which are suitable for graduate level courses in computer science, engineering, business, applied mathematics, and operations research. Combinatorial (or discrete) optimization problems arise in various applications, including communications network design, VLSI design, machine vision, airline crew scheduling, corporate planning, computer-aided design and manufacturing, database query design, cellular telephone frequency assignment, constraint directed reasoning, and computational biology. The topics of the books will cover complexity analysis and algorithm design (parallel and serial), computational experiments and applications in science and engineering. Series Editors:

Ding-Zhu Du, University of Minnesota Panos M. Pardalos, University of Florida Advisory Editorial Board:
