Approximation and Online Algorithms 5th International Workshop, WAOA 2007, Eilat, Israel, October 11-12, 2007, Revised Papers

The Fifth Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (WAOA 2007) focused on the design and analysis of algorithms for online and computationally hard problems. Both kinds of problems have a large number of applications from a variety of ?elds. WAOA 2007 took place in Eilat, Israel, during Octob...
