Approximation algorithm for minimal convergecast time problem in wireless sensor networks
In this paper we consider how to collect data from sensors deployed in the Euclidean plane in a timeefficient way. We assume that all sensors could adjust their transmission range...

New bounds on the barycenter heuristic for bipartite graph drawing
The barycenter heuristic is often used to solve the NP-hard two-layer edge crossing minimization problem. It is well-known that the barycenter heuristic can give solutions as bad a...

An improved approximation algorithm for the asymmetric TSP with strengthened triangle inequality
We consider the asymmetric traveling salesperson problem with -parameterized triangle inequality for [1/2, 1). That means, the edge weights fulfill w(u, v)

Improved Steiner tree approximation in graphs
The Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs seeks a minimum weight connected subgraph containing a given subset of the vertices terminals. We present a new polynomial-time heurist...

Conditional Inequalities and the Shortest Common Superstring Problem
We investigate the shortest common superstring problem (SCSSP). As SCSSP is APX-complete it cannot be approximated within an arbitrarily small performance ratio. One heuristic tha...

Optimization Algorithms for Exploiting the Parallelism-Communication Tradeoff in Pipelined Parallelism
We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering followed by parallelization. We focus on the parallelization phase a...

Improved Approximations of Independent Sets in Bounded-Degree Graphs
Abstract. Finding maximum independent sets in graphs with bounded maximum degree is a well-studied NP-complete problem. We introduce an algorithm schema for improving the approxim...
