Universitat Rovira i Virgili
La URV va ser creada el 1991 pel Parlament de Catalunya, a partir de centres universitaris ja existents. Es recuperava així la Universitat de Tarragona del segle XVI. Des del primer dia de funcionament ha tingut un objectiu molt clar: posar el coneixement al servei de la societat per contribuir al desenvolupament social i econòmic del seu entorn, un context que s'ha anat transformant amb el pas del temps.
Els canvis socials i culturals ens han obert les portes d'un nou marc i han fet d'Europa un espai d'interacció obligat per als nostres estudiants i futurs treballadors. Les dades confirmen la URV com a universitat de referència a Catalunya i en l'espai europeu per la qualitat de la docència, l'aposta per la formació continuada i l'excel·lència en la recerca, el desenvolupament i la innovació.

Government departments have diverse interests, and on certain occasions, the need to achieve an objective in one department may lead to the adoption of inefficient policies in other areas, with long-lasting consequences. ...
A minimum cost spanning tree problem analyzes the way to efficiently connect agents to a source when they are located at different places. Once the efficient tree is obtained, the total cost should be allocated among the ...
