AND/OR search spaces accommodate advanced algorithmic schemes for graphical models which can exploit the structure of the model. We extend and evaluate the depth-first and best-fi...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

We present a simple randomized algorithm which solves linear programs with n constraints and d variables in expected minfO(d 22dn); e 2 pdln(n= p d)+O( p d+lnn)g time in the unit ...
We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...
