SPRINGER Algorithmic Aspects In Information And Management 4Th International Conference Aaim 2008 Edition by RUDOLF FLEISCHER, JINHUI XU
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2008, held in Shanghai, China, in June 2008. The 30 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The papers cover original algorithmic research on immediate applications and/or fundamental problems pertinent to information management and management science. Topics addressed are: approximation algorithms, geometric data management, biological data management, graph algorithms, computational finance, mechanism design, computational game theory, network optimization, data structures, operations research, discrete optimization, online algorithms, FPT algorithms, and scheduling algorithms.
