In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...
Abstract. In this paper we consider the dictionary problem in the scalable distributed data structure paradigm introduced by Litwin, Neimat and Schneider and analyze costs for inse...
We consider the problem of maintaining a binary search tree (BST) that minimizes the average access cost needed to satisfy randomly generated requests. We analyze scenarios in whi...
Abstract. Wireless sensor networks are often densely deployed for environmental monitoring applications. Collecting raw data from these networks can lead to excessive energy consum...

We investigate the complexity of the outer face in arrangements of line segments of a fixed length in the plane, drawn uniformly at random within a square. We derive upper bounds ...
