An agent-based approach to solve dynamic meeting scheduling problems with preferences
Multi-agent systems are widely used to address large-scale distributed combinatorial applications in the real world. One such application is meeting scheduling (MS), which is deļ¬...

On the k-Closest Substring and k-Consensus Pattern Problems
Given a set S = {s1, s2, . . . , sn} of strings each of length m, and an integer L, we study the following two problems. k-Closest Substring problem: ļ¬nd k center strings c1, c2,...

Cell-probe lower bounds for the partial match problem
Given a database of n points in {0, 1}d, the partial match problem is: In response to a query x in {0, 1, }d, find a database point y such that for every i whenever xi = , we have...

Universal Algebra and Hardness Results for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Ī“ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Ī“) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...
