We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.
This paper describes a method for optimizing the cost matrix of any approximate string matching algorithm based on the Levenshtein distance. The method, which uses genetic algorit...
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...

—When a large amount of sensors are randomly deployed into a field, how can we make a sleep/activate schedule for sensors to maximize the lifetime of target coverage in the fie...
