In this paper, a novel approximate link-state dissemination framework, called TROP, is proposed for shared backup path protection (SBPP) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) ne...
Abstract. Nearest neighbor searching is a fundamental computational problem. A set of n data points is given in real d-dimensional space, and the problem is to preprocess these poi...
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs (demands) s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number ...

Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
In this paper, we study the problem of computing the similarity of two protein structures ring their contact-map overlap. Contact-map overlap abstracts the problem of computing th...
