Dynamizing static algorithms, with applications to dynamic trees and history independence
We describe a machine model for automatically dynamizing static algorithms and apply it to historyindependent data structures. Static programs expressed in this model are dynamize...

Probabilistically Survivable MASs
Muhiagent systems (MAS) can "go down" for a large number of reasons, ranging from system malfunctions and power failures to malicious attacks. The placement of agents on...

Incremental Tractable Reasoning about Qualitative Temporal Constraints
In many applications of temporal reasoning we are in­ terested in reasoning incrementally In particular, given a CSP of temporal constrains and a new constraint, we want to maint...

Absolute convergence: true trees from short sequences
Fast-converging methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees require that the sequences characterizing the taxa be of only polynomial length, a major asset in practice, since rea...

New approaches to covering and packing problems
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...

Representing dynamic binary trees succinctly
We introduce a new updatable representation ofbinary trees. The structure requires the information theoretic minimum 2n + o(n) bits and supports basic navigational operations in c...
