Abstract. We study computationally hard combinatorial problems arising from the important engineering question of how to maximize the number of connections that can be simultaneous...
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...
A coloring of a graph is convex if it induces a partition of the vertices into connected subgraphs. Besides being an interesting property from a theoretical point of view, tests f...
Publish/subscribe systems utilize filter algorithms to determine all subscriptions matching incoming event messages. To distribute such services, subscriptions are forwarded to s...
Without physical boundaries, a wireless network faces many more security threats than a wired network does. Therefore, in the IEEE 802.16 standard a security sublayer is specified...
