Heuristic Approaches to Optimization with Applications

Abstract

This progress report covers the twelve months of funding on this grant since my previous progress report (August 2000). This grant covers two distinct lines of work: (1) the development of algorithms and implementations of heuristic search with applications; and (2) theoretical research on combinatorial algorithms and optimization. As detailed below, substantial progress has been made in both areas since my last progress report. This grant is currently supporting two PhD students starting September 1, meeting the scheduled expenditure for this fiscal year. Our work continues to prove interesting to a large number of Navy personnel, as documented by WWW hits. Since March 2001, our pages have received over 6,700 ".mil" hits, with navy.mil being the largest identifiable component.
