Distributed optimization in sensor networks
Wireless sensor networks are capable of collecting an enormous amount of data over space and time. Often, the ultimate objective is to derive an estimate of a parameter or functio...

On the complexity of distributed graph coloring
Coloring the nodes of a graph with a small number of colors is one of the most fundamental problems in theoretical computer science. In this paper, we study graph coloring in a di...

Jitter Control in QoS Networks
We study jitter control in networks with guaranteed quality of service (QoS) from the competitive analysis point of view: we propose on-line algorithms that control jitter and comp...

Factorial representations to generate arbitrary search distributions
A powerful approach to search is to try to learn a distribution of good solutions (in particular of the dependencies between their variables) and use this distribution as a basis ...

Approximating the distribution of fitness over hamming regions
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
