This paper shows how to build and maintain a distributed heap which we call SHELL. In contrast to standard heaps, our heap is oblivious in the sense that its structure only depends...
Abstract In a load balancing network each processor has an initial collection of unit-size jobs, tokens, and in each round, pairs of processors connected by balancers split their l...
Our aim is to develop new database technologies for the approximate matching of unstructured string data using indexes. We explore the potential of the suffix tree data structure i...
Recent advances in scene understanding and related tasks
have highlighted the importance of using regions to reason
about high-level scene structure. Typically, the regions are

In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...
