Improved Inapproximability Results for Maximum k-Colorable Subgraph
We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...

Local Graph Partitioning using PageRank Vectors
A local graph partitioning algorithm finds a cut near a specified starting vertex, with a running time that depends largely on the size of the small side of the cut, rather than...

Algebraic correction methods for computational assessment of clone overlaps in DNA fingerprint mapping
Background: The Sulston score is a well-established, though approximate metric for probabilistically evaluating postulated clone overlaps in DNA fingerprint mapping. It is known t...

Improving flexibility on host discovery for pervasive computing middlewares
The vision of pervasive or ubiquitous computing, conceived by Mark Weiser, foresees a world where computing is embedded in every day objects. Such objects interact with each other...
