The existing solutions to privacy preserving publication can be classified into the theoretical and heuristic categories. The former guarantees provably low information loss, whe...
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
Non-trivial linear straight-line programs over the Galois field of two elements occur frequently in applications such as encryption or high-performance computing. Finding the shor...
This paper deals with the challenging problem of counting the number of solutions of a CSP, denoted #CSP. Recent progress have been made using search methods, such as BTD [15], whi...
Classical methods for solving numerical CSPs are based on a branch and prune algorithm, a dichotomic enumeration process interleaved with a consistency filtering algorithm. In man...
