چکیده
4. Polyhedral and Algebraic Methods in Computational Geometry, by Michael Joswig and Thorsten Theobald. Reviewed by Brittany Terese Fasy and David L. Millman. This book treats a wide array of topics, beginning from the basics (e.g., convex hulls) and proceeding through the fundamental tools of computational algebraic geometry (e.g., Gröbner bases), and containing a section on applications as well.

Static Task Allocation in Distributed Systems Using Parallel Genetic Algorithm
Over the past two decades, PC speeds have increased from a few instructions per second to several million instructions per second. The tremendous speed of today's networks as well as the increasing need for high-performance systems has made researchers interested in parallel and distributed computing. The rapid growth of distributed systems has led to a variety of problems. Task allocation is a...
متن کاملThe Book Review Column 1 Books That Need Reviewed for the Sigact News Column Algorithms
After this column I am resigning as SIGACT News Book Review Editor. I’ve been editing this column for 17 years which is longer than anyone should have a job of this type. I have enjoyed editing this column and reviewing books. I have enjoyed getting to know publishers and authors and reviewers. I have enjoyed getting books in the mail that I want to read. I have not enjoyed giving those books t...
متن کاملThe Book Review Column 1 Books I Need Reviewed for Sigact News Column Algorithms and Combinatorics 1. Integrated Methods for Optimization (second Edition)
Editorial about Book Prices: In the first draft of this column I had the following comment about Beck’s book on Combinatorial Games: The books is expensive and not online. I assume that the author is more interested in getting the material out to people who want to read it rather than in making money. Yet the book has a high price tag and is not online. The entire math-book-publishing business ...
متن کاملCockpit Crew Pairing Problem in Airline Scheduling: Shortest Path with Resources Constraints Approach
Increasing competition in the air transport market has intensified active airlines’ efforts to keep their market share by attaching due importance to cost management aimed at reduced final prices. Crew costs are second only to fuel costs on the cost list of airline companies. So, this paper attempts to investigate the cockpit crew pairing problem. The set partitioning problem has been used for ...
متن کاملDALD:-Distributed-Asynchronous-Local-Decontamination Algorithm in Arbitrary Graphs
Network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. In networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. Therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. In this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. In mos...
