We present a method to speed up the computation of a high-quality data-dependent triangulation approximating an image using simulated annealing by probability distributions guided ...
Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementa...

—This paper studies the problem of allocating network capacity through periodic auctions. Motivated primarily by a service overlay architecture, we impose the following condition...
