We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...
The inability to answer proximity queries efficiently for spaces of dimension d > 2 has led to the study of approximation to proximity problems. Several techniques have been pro...

Traditional location-based services recommend nearest objects to the user by considering their spatial proximity. However, an object not only has its distance but also has its dir...
Data stream management systems need to control their resources adaptively since stream characteristics and query workload may vary over time. In this paper we investigate an approa...
