Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...
We study the branching program complexity of the tree evaluation problem, introduced in [BCM+09a] as a candidate for separating NL from LogCFL. The input to the problem is a roote...

This paper presents an algorithm for recovering the globally optimal 2D human figure detection using a loopy graph model. This is computationally challenging because the time comp...
This paper investigates the performance of a content distribution network designed to provide bounded content access latency. Content can be divided into multiple classes with dif...
We present external-memory algorithms for differencing large hierarchical datasets. Our methods are especially suited to streaming data with bounded differences. For input sizes m...
