Geographic Quorum System Approximations
Quorum systems are a mechanism for obtaining fault-tolerance and efficient distributed systems. We consider geographic quorum systems; a geographic quorum system is a partition of...

Grouping Techniques for Scheduling Problems: Simpler and Faster
In this paper we describe a general grouping technique to devise faster and simpler approximation schemes for several scheduling problems. We illustrate the technique on two diff...

A Memetic Algorithm for the Generalized Minimum Vertex-Biconnected Network Problem
Abstract--The generalized minimum vertex-biconnected network problem plays an important role in the design of survivable backbone networks that should be fault tolerant to single c...

Nearly optimal solutions for the chow parameters problem and low-weight approximation of halfspaces
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

Cross-Mining Binary and Numerical Attributes
We consider the problem of relating itemsets mined on binary attributes of a data set to numerical attributes of the same data. An example is biogeographical data, where the numer...
