EAGER: Computer Science Research and Enrichment Program

计算机科学研究和丰富项目将提供一个机会，将罗格斯大学卡姆登分校的一些有前途的学生和当地高中的一些学生的潜力转化为可衡量的影响。作为该项目的一部分，我们将在未来几年与这些学生密切合作——教授他们离散数学/算法的高级主题，指导他们，并与他们一起进行研究项目。齐心协力地支持和指导这些学生将丰富他们的个人生活，并使他们能够通过他们的学术和专业努力产生更大的影响。我们计划进行的研究项目与覆盖问题和调度问题有关。与许多其他问题一样，所提出的问题是难以解决的，并且没有有效的算法可以准确地解决这些问题。我们的目标是设计有效的算法，为这些问题提供接近最优的解决方案。

The Computer Science Research and Enrichment Program will provide an opportunity to translate the potential of a few promising students at Rutgers University-Camden and a few students from local high schools into measurable impact. As part of this project we will work very closely with these students over the next couple of years - teaching them advanced topics in discrete mathematics/algorithms, mentoring them, and working on research projects with them. Making a concerted effort to support and guide these students will enrich them individually, and also permit them to make a greater impact through their academic and professional endeavors. The research projects that we plan to work on are related to covering problems and scheduling problems. Like many other problems, the proposed problems are intractable and no efficient algorithms to solve these problems exactly are known. Our goal is to design efficient algorithms that produce near-optimal solutions for these problems.
