: We initiate the study of property testing of submodularity on the boolean hypercube. Submodular functions come up in a variety of applications in combinatorial optimization. For ...

We develop a new technique of proving lower bounds for the randomized communication complexity of boolean functions in the multiparty `Number on the Forehead' model. Our meth...
The notion of distributed functional monitoring was recently introduced by Cormode, Muthukrishnan and Yi [CMY08] to initiate a formal study of the communication cost of certain fu...

We consider the problem of maintaining aggregates and statistics over data streams, with respect to the last N data elements seen so far. We refer to this model as the sliding wind...
