Hierarchical State Machines
Hierarchical state machines are finite state machines whose states themselves can be other machines. In spite of their popularity in many modeling tools for software design, very l...

Preemptive scheduling on a small number of hierarchical machines
We consider preemptive offline and online scheduling on identical machines and uniformly related machines in the hierarchical model, with the goal of minimizing the makespan. In t...

Some Observations on Holographic Algorithms
Abstract. We define the notion of diversity for families of finite functions, and express the limitations of a simple class of holographic algorithms in terms of limitations on d...

Coverage and adaptive scheduling algorithms for criticality management on video wireless sensor networks
In WSN-based surveillance systems power conservation is an important issue but one must also ensure that the application's objectives are met. In this paper, we jointly addres...

Cohomology in Grothendieck Topologies and Lower Bounds in Boolean Complexity II: A Simple Example
In a previous paper we have suggested a number of ideas to attack circuit size complexity with cohomology. As a simple example, we take circuits that can only compute the AND of t...
