Contributions of our work Inspired by many observations in applications and a comprehensive experimental study of the OMBM problem, our contributions are Motivations Contributions 1 Is Greedy really the worst? Greedy has good performance Is the worst-case analysis 2 appropriate for the OMB Worst-case VS. Average-case analysIs problem in practice? Are implementations and 3 experimental evaluations Uniform implementations and evaluations are provided uniform? Open question: the average-case approximation ratio (aka competitive ratio) of the simple greedy algorithm for the OMBM problem should be constant
