Applications such as parallel computing, online games, and content distribution networks need to run on a set of resources with particular network connection characteristics to ge...
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

Abstract—This paper studies a constrained optical signal-tonoise ratio (OSNR) optimization problem in optical networks from the perspective of system performance. A system optimi...
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are locations at which the genomic sequences of population members differ. Since these differences are known to follow patterns,...

We introduce a new class of games, congestion games with failures (CGFs), which extends the class of congestion games to allow for facility failures. In a basic CGF (BCGF) agents ...
