Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...
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...
Mining, discovering, and integrating process-oriented services has attracted growing attention in the recent year. Workflow precedence graph and workflow block structures are two i...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

Abstract. In this paper, we present a new similarity measure for a clustering self-organizing map which will be reached using a new approach of hierarchical clustering. (1) The sim...
