Abstract. In this paper we investigate methods for analyzing the expected value of adding information in distributed task scheduling problems. As scheduling problems are NP-complet...
We discuss the use of social networks in implementing viral marketing strategies. While influence maximization has been studied in this context (see Chapter 24 of [10]), we study ...

We design the first efficient algorithms and prove new combinatorial bounds for list decoding tensor products of codes and interleaved codes. ? We show that for every code, the rat...
We consider the problem of MaxMin allocation of indivisible goods. There are m items to be distributed among n players. Each player i has a nonnegative valuation pij for an item j...
The Write-All problem for an asynchronous shared-memory system has the objective for the processes to update the contents of a set of shared registers, while minimizing the mber o...
