We investigate the problem of how to evaluate, fast and efficiently, classes of optimal route queries on a massive graph in a unified framework. To evaluate a route query effectiv...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...
Abstract. In the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), the aim is to find an assignment of values to a set of variables subject to specified constraints. In the minimum cost hom...
Abstract. Reasoning about social networks (labeled, directed, weighted graphs) is becoming increasingly important and there are now models of how certain phenomena (e.g. adoption o...
