We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...

— This paper demonstrates that the algorithmic performance of end user programs may be greatly affected by the two or three level caching scheme of the processor, and we introduc...
Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...
One of the major advances in classical planning has been the development of Graphplan. Graphplan builds a layered structure called the planning graph, and then searches this struc...
