Symmetric range assignment with disjoint MST constraints
If V is a set of n points in the unit square [0, 1]2 , and if R : V + is an assignment of positive real numbers (radii) to to those points, define a graph G(R) as follows: {v, w}...

Online Task Assignment in Crowdsourcing Markets
We explore the problem of assigning heterogeneous tasks to workers with different, unknown skill sets in crowdsourcing markets such as Amazon Mechanical Turk. We first formalize ...

Wavelength Assignment in WDM Rings to Minimize SONET ADMs
— We study wavelength assignment for lightpaths over WDM rings to minimize the SONET ADMs used. This problem has attracted much attention recently. However, its computation compl...

Inapproximability Results for Wavelength Assignment in WDM Optical Networks
We address the issue of inapproximability of the wavelength assignment problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. We prove that in an n-node WDM optical ne...

Using Expectation Maximization to Find Likely Assignments for Solving CSP's
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...
