On the Huffman and Alphabetic Tree Problem with General Cost Functions
We study a wide generalization of two classical problems, the Huffman Tree and Alphabetic Tree Problem. We assume that the cost caused by the ith leaf is fi(di), where di is its d...

Minimizing Probing Cost for Detecting Interface Failures: Algorithms and Scalability Analysis
— The automatic detection of failures in IP paths is an essential step for operators to perform diagnosis or for overlays to adapt. We study a scenario where a set of monitors se...
