We consider and analyze a new algorithm for balancing indivisible loads on a distributed network with n processors. The aim is minimizing the discrepancy between the maximum and m...
A pervasive problem in large relational databases is identity uncertainty which occurs when multiple entries in a database refer to the same underlying entity in the world. Relati...
Many real–world networks show a scale–free degree distribution, a structure that is known to be very stable in case of random failures. Unfortunately, the very same structure ...
We present a novel framework for answering complex questions that relies on question decomposition. Complex questions are decomposed by a procedure that operates on a Markov chain...

A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of small, resource-constrained devices and usually operates in hostile environments that are prone to link and node failures. ...
