—We investigate approximating joint distributions of random processes with causal dependence tree distributions. Such distributions are particularly useful in providing parsimoni...

Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...
Abstract— Data synopsis is a lossy compressed representation of data stored into databases that helps the query optimizer to speed up the query process, e.g. time to retrieve the...
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...
The Generalized Maximum Dispersion problem asks for a partition of a given graph into p vertex-disjoint sets, each of them having at most k vertices. The goal is to maximize the to...
