    Algorithmic Problems on Temporal Graphs and a call for experiments.

    Abstract : Research on Temporal Graphs has expanded in the last few years. Most of the results till now, address problems related to the notion of Temporal Paths (and Temporal Connectivity). In this talk, we focus, instead, on problems whose main topic is not on Temporal Paths. In particular, we will discuss Temporal Vertex Covers, the notion of Temporal Transitivity, and also issues and models of stochastic temporal graphs.  We believe that several algorithmic graph problems, not directly related to paths, can be raised  in the temporal domain. This may motivate new research towards lifting more topics of algorithmic graph theory to the temporal case. We also notice that not many experimental results have addressed the above problems. We stress the need for new experimental algorithms, especially for the computationally hard Instances of such problems.

    Combinatorial algorithms used inside a MIP solver

    Abstract: State-of-the-art solvers for mixed integer programs (MIP) need to solve a variety of combinatorial sub-problems in many of the components of the solver, for example in presolving, cutting plane separation, node selection, the simplex algorithm, or the barrier algorithm. Some of these sub-problems are solvable in polynomial time while others are NP hard.

    Unique experimental algorithms for national security applications

    Government/national-security combinatorial optimization problems frequently have some twist. This might be unusual constraints, structure of input data, or computing platform. Almost all require some degree of confidence in the solution through experimental analysis on real or realistic data. These experimental analyses frequently raise novel algorithmic questions. In this talk, we will tell the story, and open questions, around at least three such applications: how and why we needed to make open social-network data sets "more human;" validating implementations of history-independent data structures; and a special case of randomized rounding.
