some practical applications of vertex cover problem?
What are some practical applications of minimum vertex cover problem?
Some examples should be helpful.

Thanks,

 As a side note, doesn't it sound counter-intuitive that in vertex cover we are actually covering all edges and not necessarily all vertices?
