Creating a Cluster Hierarchy under Constraints of a Partially Known Hierarchy
Although clustering under constraints is a current research topic, a hierarchical setting, in which a hierarchy of clusters is the goal, is usually not considered. This paper trie...

Schema covering: a step towards enabling reuse in information integration
Abstract—We introduce schema covering, the problem of identifying easily understandable common objects for describing large and complex schemas. Defining transformations between...

Frugality ratios and improved truthful mechanisms for vertex cover
In set-system auctions, there are several overlapping teams of agents, and a task that can be completed by any of these teams. The auctioneer's goal is to hire a team and pay...

Maximum Coverage Problem with Group Budget Constraints and Applications
We study a variant of the maximum coverage problem which we label the maximum coverage problem with group budget constraints (MCG). We are given a collection of sets S = {S1, S2, ....

On Completing Latin Squares
We present a (2 3 − o(1))-approximation algorithm for the partial latin square extension (PLSE) problem. This improves the current best bound of 1 − 1 e due to Gomes, Regis, an...
