Abstract--This work studies the near-optimality versus the complexity of distributed configuration management for wireless networks. We first develop a global probabilistic graphic...
The goal of this paper is to investigate a new shape analysis method based on randomized cuts of 3D surface meshes. The general strategy is to generate a random set of mesh segmen...
This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
There are many randomized "divide and conquer" algorithms, such as randomized Quicksort, whose operation involves partitioning a problem of size n uniformly at random int...
This paper studies how to incorporate side information (such as users’ feedback) in measuring node proximity on large graphs. Our method (ProSIN) is motivated by the well-studie...
