Approximation Algorithms for Non-Uniform Buy-at-Bulk Network Design
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

Scheduling Unrelated Machines by Randomized Rounding
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...

Scoped and Approximate Queries in a Relational Grid Information Service
We are developing a grid information service, RGIS, that is based on the relational data model. RGIS supports complex queries written in SQL that search for compositions (using jo...

New Sampling-Based Summary Statistics for Improving Approximate Query Answers
In large data recording and warehousing environments, it is often advantageous to provide fast, approximate answers to queries, whenever possible. Before DBMSs providing highly-ac...
