Bounded fixed-parameter tractability and reducibility
We study a refined framwork of parameterized complexity theory where the parameter dependendence of fixed-parameter tractable algorithms is not arbitrary, but restricted by a fu...

On suitability of Euclidean embedding of internet hosts
In this paper, we investigate the suitability of embedding Internet hosts into a Euclidean space given their pairwise distances (as measured by round-trip time). Using the classic...

Mechanism design over discrete domains
Often, we wish to design incentive-compatible algorithms for settings in which the players' private information is drawn from discrete domains (e.g., integer values). Our mai...

Imperative self-adjusting computation
Self-adjusting computation enables writing programs that can automatically and efficiently respond to changes to their data (e.g., inputs). The idea behind the approach is to stor...
