Both Message Routing
  • Dynamic or static decomposition
  • or scheduling of data or processes
  • need "performance" optimized
  • and are satisfied with reasonable (~ within 20% of best) answers
  • and have no difficult correctness constraints
    • Heuristics
    • Simulated Annealing
    • Neural Networks (static data)
    • Elastic Nets (messages)
