Parameterized Study of the Test Cover Problem
We carry out a systematic study of a natural covering problem, used for
identification across several areas, in the realm of parameterized complexity.
In the {\sc Test Cover} problem we are given a set of items
together with a collection, , of distinct subsets of these items called
tests. We assume that is a test cover, i.e., for each pair of items
there is a test in containing exactly one of these items. The
objective is to find a minimum size subcollection of , which is still a
test cover. The generic parameterized version of {\sc Test Cover} is denoted by
-{\sc Test Cover}. Here, we are given and a
positive integer parameter as input and the objective is to decide whether
there is a test cover of size at most . We study four
parameterizations for {\sc Test Cover} and obtain the following:
(a) -{\sc Test Cover}, and -{\sc Test Cover} are fixed-parameter
tractable (FPT).
(b) -{\sc Test Cover} and -{\sc Test Cover} are
W[1]-hard. Thus, it is unlikely that these problems are FPT

k-RNN: Extending NN-heuristics for the TSP
In this paper we present an extension of existing Nearest-Neighbor heuristics
to an algorithm called k-Repetitive-Nearest-Neighbor. The idea is to start with
a tour of k nodes and then perform a Nearest-Neighbor search from there on.
After doing this for all permutations of k nodes the result gets selected as
the shortest tour found. Experimental results show that for 2-RNN the solutions
quality remains relatively stable between about 10% to 40% above the optimum

Problem-based leadership: nurturing managers during turbulent times
Purpose – The paper explores problem-based learning (PBL) as a useful methodology in leadership development during turbulent times. It identifies several pertinent action points for managers to lead through problems while understanding their capacity to empower themselves and others to face challenges at work. Design/methodology/approach – Broad concepts of PBL are used to distil the characteristics of this methodology and how they might be applicable to leadership development. An actual case of PBL in leadership education and training is employed to illustrate the processes of problem solving and reflective action-taking. Findings – When confronted by problems, managers should adopt a learning-oriented mindset and draw on the strengths of others to generate immediate solutions for experimentation. In doing so, they need to accept failure as a prerequisite for creative tensions to be generated and applied in messy circumstances. Until they think out of the box, they will continue to solve problems in tried-and-tested ways obstructing the emergence of revolutionary solutions. Practical implications – In order for managers to make an impact on organizational process and improvement, they need to focus on the action and learn components of PBL. They should be given the space to listen to their own “voice” and internalize the “voice” of others through reflection and dialogue. They should also be recognized for their courage and boldness in confronting problems even if more problems are generated in the process. It is facing the goliath that managers truly grow to become real leaders. Originality/value – Although the concept of PBL has been around for a long while, its applicability to leadership development has not been sufficiently explored in both theory and practice. This paper brings another dimension to the common idea of problem solving where solution seeking is not an end it itself. At best, it is a means to discovering the potential of true leadership in those whose mindset is focused on learning and reflective decision-making
