A general criterion and an algorithmic framework for learning in multi-agent systems
We offer a new formal criterion for agent-centric learning in multi-agent systems, that is, learning that maximizes one’s rewards in the presence of other agents who might also...

Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams
We present algorithms for computing frequency counts exceeding a user-specified threshold over data streams. Our algorithms are simple and have provably small memory footprints. A...

Utility-based rate control in the Internet for elastic traffic
In a communication network, a good rate allocation algorithm should reflect the utilities of the users while being fair. We investigate this fundamental problem of achieving the sy...

Robust epsilon visibility
Analytic visibility algorithms, for example methods which compute a subdivided mesh to represent shadows, are notoriously unrobust and hard to use in practice. We present a new me...
