Abstract--Fiber-optic networks are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as tornadoes or earthquakes, as well as to physical failures, such as an anchor cutting underwater fiber ca...
We present a polynomial time approximation algorithm for unit time precedence constrained scheduling. Our algorithm guarantees schedules which are at most 2 - 7 3p+1 factor as lon...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating registers is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. They showed that the problem of...

We study the problem of incrementally maintaining an XPath query on an XML database under updates. The updates we consider are node insertion, node deletion, and node relabeling. ...
