The hierarchical model for load balancing on two machines
Following previous work, we consider the hierarchical load balancing model on two machines of possibly different speeds. We first focus on maximizing the minimum machine load and ...

Strategy-proof allocation of multiple items between two agents without payments or priors
We investigate the problem of allocating items (private goods) among competing agents in a setting that is both prior-free and paymentfree. Specifically, we focus on allocating mu...

Randomized Robot Navigation Algorithms
We consider the problem faced by a mobile robot that has to reach a given target by traveling through an unmapped region in the plane containing oriented rectangular obstacles. We...

On-line Randomized Call Control Revisited
We consider the problem of on-line call admission and routing on trees and meshes. Previous work gave randomized on-line algorithms for these problems and proved that they have opt...

Competitive analysis of organization networks or multicast acknowledgement: how much to wait?
We study, from the competitive analysis perspective, the trade off between communication cost and delay cost (or simply the sendor-wait dilemma) on a hierarchy (rooted tree). The p...

Why Robots Need Maps
Abstract. A large group of autonomous, mobile entities e.g. robots initially placed at some arbitrary node of the graph has to jointly visit all nodes (not necessarily all edges) a...

Minimizing average latency in oblivious routing
We consider the problem of minimizing average latency cost while obliviously routing traffic in a network with linear latency functions. This is roughly equivalent to minimizing t...
