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...
Multi-Agent Systems are a promising way of dealing with large complex problems. However, it is not yet clear just how much complexity or pre-existing structure individual agents m...
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...
This paper will provide a useful guide to those schools that have not yet implemented IMAP and are considering doing so. With both the systems and user services perspectives, any ...
This paper discusses extensions to the Rover toolkit for constructing reliable mobile-aware applications. The extensions improve upon the existing failure model, which only addres...
