The scheduling of application tasks is a problem that occurs in all multiprocessor systems. This problem becomes even more complicated if the tasks are not independent but are inte...
We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...
We consider the problem of learning and verifying hidden graphs and their properties given query access to the graphs. We analyze various queries (edge detection, edge counting, sh...
: We initiate the study of local, sublinear time algorithms for finding vertices with extreme topological properties -- such as high degree or clustering coefficient -- in large so...
The “small world” phenomenon, i.e., the fact that the global social network is strongly connected in the sense that every two persons are inter-related through a small chain o...
