We find “combinatorially optimal” (guaranteed by the degree-sequence alone) independent sets for graphs and hypergraps in linear space in the semi-streaming model. We also pr...
Two novel suboptimal algorithms for mutual exclusion in distributed systems are presented. One is based on the modi cation of Maekawa's grid based quorum scheme. The size of ...
The island model for evolutionary algorithms allows to delay the global convergence of the evolution process and encourage diversity. However, solving large size and time-intensiv...
Automated political districting shares with electronic voting the aim of preventing electoral manipulation and pursuing an impartial electoral mechanism. Political districting can...
For many large systems the computational complexity of complete model-based diagnosis is prohibitive. In this paper we investigate the speedup of the diagnosis process by exploiti...
