Approximate Decomposition: A Method for Bounding and Estimating Probabilistic and Deterministic Queries
In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...

Minimizing the Diameter of a Network Using Shortcut Edges
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...

The Polymatroid Steiner Problems
The Steiner tree problem asks for a minimum cost tree spanning a given set of terminals S ⊆ V in a weighted graph G = (V, E, c), c : E → R+ . In this paper we consider a genera...

Approximately Optimal Trees for Group Key Management with Batch Updates
Abstract. We investigate the group key management problem for broadcasting applications. Previous work showed that, in handling key updates, batch rekeying can be more cost-effect...
