We address the design of algorithms for multicores that are oblivious to machine parameters. We propose HM, a multicore model consisting of a parallel shared-memory machine with hi...

This paper presents improved approximation algorithms for the problem of multiprocessor scheduling under uncertainty (SUU), in which the execution of each job may fail probabilist...

This paper investigates the computational complexity of approximating several NPoptimization problems using the number of queries to an NP oracle as a complexity measure. The resu...
In this paper we present a new notion of what it means for a problem in P to be inherently sequential. Informally, a problem L is strictly sequential P-complete if when the best kn...
Impression evidence in the form of shoe-prints are commonly found in crime scenes. A critical step in automatic shoe-print identification is extraction of the shoe-print pattern. ...
