The abstract follows.

The main goal of parameterized complexity is to try to design algorithms
that are capable of solving (in reasonable time) hard problems in cases
where some predefined problem parameters are of limited size. This
theory was developed in the early 90s, contributing to many new
techniques in the area of algorithmic design ever since. In this talk we
survey the main aspects of parametrized complexity, and highlight its
applicability to the area of scheduling. We also discuss some challenges
and open problems for future research.

The next talk in our series will be given by

Yindong Shen (AIA Huazhong Uni) | February 2, 2022| Public transit
planning and scheduling based on AVL data in China
