Abstract
This chapter surveys a graph-based approach in covering geometric domains. Geometric covering problems are normally NP-hard, yet under specified restrictions some are reduced to optimization problems on perfect graphs, and thus are solvable in polynomial time. This chapter surveys some of these problems, and demonstrates the connection between covering problems of geometric domains and the clique cover of perfect graphs.
