We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
High dimensionality of belief space in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) is one of the major causes that severely restricts the applicability of this model. ...

We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...
This paper targets the problem of optimal resource allocation in overlay multicast, which poses both theoretical and practical challenges. Theoretically, resource allocation among...
Abstract. We present a domain theoretic framework for obtaining exact solutions of linear boundary value problems. Based on the domain of compact real intervals, we show how to app...
