The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...

In-Network Computation in Random Wireless Networks: A PAC Approach to Constant Refresh Rates with Lower Energy Costs
—We propose a method to compute a probably approximately correct (PAC) normalized histogram of observations with a refresh rate of Âð1Þ time units per histogram sample on a ra...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Approximating node connectivity problems via set covers
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...

Maximal independent sets in radio networks
We study the distributed complexity of computing a maximal independent set (MIS) in radio networks with completely unknown topology, asynchronous wake-up, and no collision detecti...
