Several centralized and distributed algorithms have been recently proposed to maximize the multicast lifetime for directional communications in wireless ad-hoc networks. Their per...
We present an iterative algorithm for calculating approximate greatest common divisor (GCD) of univariate polynomials with the real coefficients. For a given pair of polynomials a...
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
This paper develops a new combinatorial auction protocol called the Groves Mechanism with SubModular Approximation (GM-SMA). This protocol satisfies the following characteristics:...
A novel framework for providing probabilistically-bounded approximate answers to non-holistic aggregate range queries in OLAP is presented in this paper. Such a framework allows u...
