Detecting hubs and quasi cliques in scale-free networks
Scale-free networks are believed to closely model most real-world networks. An interesting property of such networks is the existence of so-called hub and community structures. In...

New primal-dual algorithms for Steiner tree problems
We present new primal-dual algorithms for several network design problems. The problems considered are the generalized Steiner tree problem (GST), the directed Steiner tree proble...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...

Mobile backbone networks --: construction and maintenance
We study a novel hierarchical wireless networking approach in which some of the nodes are more capable than others. In such networks, the more capable nodes can serve as Mobile Ba...
