Efficient and decentralized computation of approximate global state
Abstract-- The need for efficient computation of approximate global state lies at the heart of a wide range of problems in distributed systems. Examples include routing in the Inte...

Approximating the two-level facility location problem via a quasi-greedy approach
We propose a quasi-greedy algorithm for approximating the classical uncapacitated 2-level facility location problem (2-LFLP). Our algorithm, unlike the standard greedy algorithm, ...

Minimizing Stall Time in Single and Parallel Disk Systems Using Multicommodity Network Flows
We study integrated prefetching and caching in single and parallel disk systems. A recent approach used linear programming to solve the problem. We show that integrated prefetching...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for Predicting RNA Secondary Structures with Arbitrary Pseudoknots
We study three closely related problems motivated by the prediction of RNA secondary structures with arbitrary pseudoknots: the MAXIMUM BASE PAIR STACKINGS problem proposed by Ieon...
