We present a combinatorial framework for the study of a natural class of distributed optimization problems that involve decisionmaking by a collection of n distributed agents in th...
To enable information integration, schema matching is a critical step for discovering semantic correspondences of attributes across heterogeneous sources. While complex matchings ...
Abstract. We demonstrate the manner in which high-level design requirements, e.g., as they correspond to the commonsensical conceptualisation of expert designers, may be formally s...
A large fraction of the URLs on the web contain duplicate (or near-duplicate) content. De-duping URLs is an extremely important problem for search engines, since all the principal...
: The Borowsky-Gafni (BG) simulation algorithm is a powerful tool that allows a set of t + 1 asynchronous sequential processes to wait-free simulate (i.e., despite the crash of up ...
