Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...
Abstract. Task-based planning problems for multi-agent systems require multiple agents to find a joint plan for a constrained set of tasks. Typically, each agent receives a subset...

Structured overlay networks form a major class of peerto-peer systems, which are touted for their abilities to scale, tolerate failures, and self-manage. Any long-lived Internet-s...
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
The primary focus of this project is to design and implement a parallel framework for an unstructured mesh generator based on the advancing front method (AFM). In particular, we t...
