We study the online ad-auctions problem introduced by Mehta et. al. [15]. We design a (1 − 1/e)competitive (optimal) algorithm for the problem, which is based on a clean primal-...
An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
Given Boolean data sets which record properties of objects, Formal Concept Analysis is a well-known approach for knowledge discovery. Recent application domains, e.g., for very lar...
Message passing using libraries implementing the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard is the dominant communication mechanism in high performance computing (HPC) applications. ...

Consider a distributed network with nodes arranged in a tree, and each node having a local value. We consider the problem of aggregating values (e.g., summing values) from all nod...
