Abstract:
I will speak primarily on some practical projects at AT&T Labs in which
I've been involved. These include multiprocessor scheduling, voice
switch "deloading," and FCC spectrum auctions; only the multiprocessor
scheduling section will be technical.  If time permits, I'll speak about
some recent theoretical work on approximating the asymmetric traveling
salesman problem.

Bio:
After receiving his PhD from Berkeley with Dick Karp, Howard Karloff
taught at the University of Chicago and Georgia Tech before joining AT&T
Labs--Research.  An editor of ACM's Transactions on Algorithms, he has
served on the program committees of numerous conferences and chaired the
Symposium of Discrete Algorithms (SODA) program committee.  He is the
author of numerous journal and conference articles and the Birkhauser
book "Linear Programming."  His research interests span theoretical
computer science but extend to more applied areas of computer science,
such as networking, as well.
