It is well known that the two simple algorithms for the classic bin packing problem, NF and WF both have an approximation ratio of 2. However, WF seems to be a more reasonable alg...
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

We consider the problem of evaluating multiple overlapping queries defined on data streams, where each query is a conjunction of multiple filters and each filter may be shared acr...
Join techniques deploying approximate match predicates are fundamental data cleaning operations. A variety of predicates have been utilized to quantify approximate match in such o...

A method is presented that uses an Approximate Nearest Neighbor method for determining correspondences within the Iterative Closest Point Algorithm. The method is based upon the k...
