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...
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...

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...
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 ...

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...
