The Limits of Greed The story begins in 1956, when the Dutch computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra developed a fast algorithm to find shortest paths on a graph with only positive weights. To understand ...

Link state protocols use characteristics of the route such as speed and cost as well as current congestion to determine the best path, which is typically computed by the Dijkstra algorithm.

The paper considers a project scheduling problem in weighted directed graphs in which arcs represent operations while nodes are identified with starting and finishing endpoints of the operations; arc ...
