In this paper, we will describe some heuristics that can be used to improve the runtime of a wide range of commonly used algorithms for the negative cycle detection problem signiï¬...
Abstract. In engineering and other ‘real-world’ applications, multiobjective optimization problems must frequently be tackled on a tight evaluation budget — tens or hundreds ...
Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of efficient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
Multi-agent problem domains may require distributed algorithms for a variety of reasons: local sensors, limitations of communication, and availability of distributed computational...

Abstract. We consider scenarios in which two parties, each in possession of a graph, wish to compute some algorithm on their joint graph in a privacy-preserving manner, that is, wi...
There has been signiï¬cant interest lately in the task of constructing codes that are testable with a small number of random probes. Ben-Sasson and Sudan show that the repeated te...
Abstract. We give a generic construction of an optimal hitting set generator (HSG) from any good “reconstructive†disperser. Past constructions of optimal HSGs have been based ...
We resolve two open problems presented in [8]. First, we consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown string T over a ï¬xed alphabet using queries of the form “does the st...
The ï¬eld of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to...
