each willing to read up articles each. Each paper submission gets reviewed by up to reviewers
Suppose you are organizing a conference where researchers present articles they have written. Researchers who want to present an article send a paper to the conference organizers. The conference organizers have access to a committee of reviewers who are each willing to read up articles each.
Each paper submission gets reviewed by up to reviewers. Moreover, each submission has a particular topic and each reviewer has a specialization for a set of topics, so papers on a given topic only get reviewed by those reviewers who are experts on that topic.
The conference organizers need to decide which reviewers will review each article (or equivalently, which articles will be reviewed by which reviewers). Explain how they could use a flow network to solve this problem.
