A recently proposed approach to address privacy concerns in storing web search querylogs is bundling logs of multiple users together. In this work we investigate privacy leaks tha...
A Bayesian formulation of quickest change detection in multiple onoff processes is obtained within a decision-theoretic framework. For geometrically distributed busy and idle time...
In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementa...

We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...
Unpredictability in the running time of complete search procedures can often be explained by the phenomenon of "heavy-tailed cost distributions", meaning that at any tim...
