As far as the problems to be studied we expect to obtain relevant contributions that will result in papers to be published in specialized journals of high quality. Besides the theoretical contributions we also expect that the algorithms we plan to design and implement will have better performances than the others that might appear (or have appeared) in the literature.
As far as the group of the participants involved in this Project we hope this Project will be a first step towards future cooperations involving other participants and other research topics, contributing this way to enlarge the cooperation between IME-USP and ZIB.
