In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
Parallel independent disks can enhance the performance of external memory (EM) algorithms, but the programming task is often di cult. In this paper we develop randomized variants ...
— The Parallel Resource-Optimal (PRO) computation model was introduced by Gebremedhin et al. [2002] as a framework for the design and analysis of efficient parallel algorithms. ...
Low-rank approximations which are computed from selected rows and columns of a given data matrix have attracted considerable attention lately. They have been proposed as an altern...

The two major problems raised by a region-based image retrieval system are the automatic definition and description of regions. In this paper we first present a technique of unsup...
