[comp.theory] Ref for Jonker-Volgenant algorithm wanted.

mrh@camcon.co.uk (Mark Hughes) (05/03/90)

Can anyone give me a reference describing the Jonker-Volgenant algorithm?

Apparantly it is

	a method for solving "large assignment" problems, such as
	the matching of 1,000 people to 1,000 jobs.
	(The Grauniad newspaper 3 May 1990).

and so is of interest to me. Please email replies.

Thanks in advance.

Mark
