Given a connected graph G and a failure probability pe for each edge e in G, the reliability of G is the probability that G remains connected when each edge e is removed independe...
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
The aggregation of conflicting preferences is a central problem in multiagent systems. The key difficulty is that the agents may report their preferences insincerely. Mechanism ...
In ad-hoc wireless networks, certain network connectivity constraints are of interest because of their practical importance. An example of such a constraint would be strong connec...
