Continuous Delivery Message Dissemination Problems under the Multicasting Communication Mode
We consider the Continuous Delivery Message Dissemination (CDMD) problem over the n-processor single-port complete (all links are present and are bidirectional) static network with...

Clustering for metric and non-metric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
