An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...
We address the problem of approximate string matching in two dimensions, that is, to nd a pattern of size m m in a text of size n n with at most k errors (substitutions, insertions...
Anypath routing has been proposed to improve the performance of unreliable wireless networks by exploiting the spatial diversity and broadcast nature of the wireless medium. In thi...

We investigate the complexity and approximability of some location problems when two distance values are specified for each pair of potential sites. These problems involve the se...

In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...
