In many information networks, data items – such as updates in social networks, news flowing through interconnected RSS feeds and blogs, measurements in sensor networks, route u...
In deletion propagation, tuples from the database are deleted in order to reflect the deletion of a tuple from the view. Such an operation may result in the (often necessary) del...
Given a set of points with uncertain locations, we consider the problem of computing the probability of each point lying on the skyline, that is, the probability that it is not do...

Algorithms for determining quality/cost/price tradeoffs in saturated markets are consid-3 ered. A product is modeled by d real-valued qualities whose sum determines the unit cost ...

We give subexponential time approximation algorithms for UNIQUE GAMES and the SMALL-SET EXPANSION. Specifically, for some absolute constant c, we give:
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...
We give an implementation of the Goemans-Williamson clustering procedure which is at the core of several approximation algorithms including those for Generalized Steiner Trees, Pr...

Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...
