The sensor selection problem for bounded uncertainty sensing models
We address the problem of selecting sensors so as to minimize the error in estimating the position of a target. We consider a generic sensor model where the measurements can be in...

Construction algorithms for k-connected m-dominating sets in wireless sensor networks
A Connected Dominating Set (CDS) working as a virtual backbone is an effective way to decrease the overhead of routing in a wireless sensor network. Furthermore, a kConnected m-Do...

Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...

Small Space Representations for Metric Min-Sum k -Clustering and Their Applications
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...

The Power of Preemption on Unrelated Machines and Applications to Scheduling Orders
Abstract. Scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan is one of the basic, well-studied problems in the area of machine scheduling. In the first ...
