There are many network applications

- Peak load- Cascading blackout

- Price- Routes- Schedules

- Emerging trends - Evolving network- Propagation models- Dynamic migration

- Routing planning

- Shortest path

U.P.S. Embraces High-Tech Delivery Methods (July 12, 2007) By Claudia H. Deutsch

“The research at U.P.S. is paying off. Last year, it cut 28 million miles from truck routes— in good part by mapping routes that minimize left turns.”

Societal economic effect

Many companies incorporate time-dependent traffic data into network dataset.

- Average Delay- Flight time

Total flight time varies with the start time of day

Why is it important?

Why is it challenging?

A static network contains a large amount of information, temporal information further increases the data size

Increased difficulty of rapid data retrieval

Time points: 10,080(60 mins X 24 hours X 7 days)

: 1,000,000: 3,000,000

Why is it hard?

The problem is NP hard problem.

The NP hardness of Lagrangian Approaches to Storage of Spatio-temporal Network Datasets follows from a well-known result about the NP-hardness of the balanced min-cut partitioning problem.
