Abstract
The research project contains (a) fundamental research of exact and nonexact algorithms and techniques for solving NP-hard computational problems, and (b) the design, analysis, and application of exact and nonexact algorithms and techniques to solve specific NP-hard problems that arise in the areas of facility location theory, data routing, data replication, and problems in program language translation. The basic research of nonexact techniques will be focused on approximation algorithms, probabilistic/randomized algorithms, and other modern heuristic algorithms and techniques for solving hard computational problems. We will also study the characteristics and properties that make computational problems amenable to exact and nonexact techniques. In the application directed research of exact and nonexact problem solving, we will focus on several topical application areas that include facility location problems (e.g. efficient placement of services such as stores, warehouses, transmitters, computer servers, etc. in a given space, such as building, city, region, state, etc.); distributed computing (e.g. efficient data replication in a distributed computing environment); routing problems (e.g. efficient routing in computer networks with regular topology); and efficient program language translation (e.g. syntax directed translation with combination of bottom-up and top-down syntax analysis).
