René Sitters
I am associate professor in the department of Econometrics and Operations Research at the Vrije Universiteit.
One day per week I am researcher at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). (My CWI page)
Main research topics:
- Combinatorial Optimization problems: algorithms and complexity
Current research:
- The traveling repairman problem [.pdf]
- There are some intriguing open problems in online optimization. Here is a report on one of these. A discussion on open problems is given in the last section. [.pdf]
- A fundamental problem in combinatorial optimization is the Traveling Salesman Problem. Recently, important progress has been made on the approximability of the TSP problem. Here is our contribution. [.pdf]
Some recent activities:
- Programming committee for MAPSP 2013, 2009, 2007
- Programming committee for WAOA 2013, APPROX 2012
- Organizing committee 24th European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization (ECCO), Amsterdam 2011
