Approximation and Online Algorithms

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post workshop proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms, WAOA 2010, held in Liverpool, UK, in September 2010 as part of the ALGO 2010 conference event.

The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and

selected from 58 submissions. The workshop covered areas such as

algorithmic game theory, approximation classes, coloring and

partitioning, competitive analysis, computational finance, cuts and

connectivity, geometric problems, inapproximability results, echanism

design, network design, packing and covering, paradigms for design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms, parameterized

complexity, randomization techniques, real-world applications, and

scheduling problems.
