Researchers have found a new approach to finding shortest paths, but it's complex Systems Approach Last year a couple of ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Organisations are increasingly turning to algorithms to manage and evaluate various aspects of work. This form of algorithmic management can significantly affect employee autonomy, as highlighted in ...
