Folks,

Find myself needing to do something like Benkard's Distributed Rounding and would be very grateful
for copies of any of the following papers:

Adrian Smith - Redistribution of Totals through Hierarchical Data
Phil Benkard - Dance of the Rounds - given at APL91 Stamford
John Scholes - Hungarian Method of Cost Assignment (Vector volnot about rounding but sorta similar)

Scholes Smith's paper are mentioned in the VECTOR archives, but the text is not available

thanks for taking the time,
TonyC

> John Scholes - Hungarian Method of Cost Assignment
The Hungarian Cost Assignment method is described in http://dfns.dyalog.com/n_assign.htm.
The assign function can also be copied from supplied workspace: dfns.dws.

The recent rebuild of the Vector archive allows us to post scans of of articles quite quickly now.

The Scholes article you want can be found at http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10007790

Every page of the Vector archive now carries an email link for requesting old articles to be posted online.

The talk by Adrian Smith is reported in the APL Berlin 2000 Conference Report (Vector, Vol.17, No.2) at http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10000290. This carries a now-dead link to a German site which had the conference papers.

Cheers
Stephen

Many thanks for all who gave pointers . . . also, apparently, Phil
Last answered a similar question on comp.lang.apl a couple of years
ago ... I'm using the snippet of code he posted
