Abstract

A Computational Geometry Problem, the "Mobile and Unreliable Service Provider", is introduced. Several heuristics to solve this problem are presented, which take advantage of the computations performed when calculating a discrete approximation to the Voronoi diagram. These heuristics, due to their low communication overhead, are appropriate for parallel environments.
