An important research thread in algorithmic game theory studies the design of efficient truthful mechanisms that approximate the optimal social welfare. A fundamental question is ...
Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are NPhard. To overcom...

In the Minimum Common String Partition problem (MCSP) we are given two strings on input, and we wish to partition them into the same collection of substrings, minimizing the numbe...
Camera networks are increasingly being deployed for security. In most of these camera networks, video sequences are captured, transmitted and archived continuously from all cameras...
