We introduce Semi-Matching with Demands (SMD), which models a certain problem in sensor networks of assigning individual sensors to sensing tasks. If there are multiple sensing tas...

We address the issue of inapproximability of the wavelength assignment problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. We prove that in an n-node WDM optical ne...
In this paper we consider a wireless network, where each transceiver is equipped with a directional antenna, and study two direction assignment problems, determined by the type of...
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

Abstract. Constructive methods obtain solutions to constraint satisfaction problem instances by iteratively extending consistent partial assignments. In this research, we study the...
