We study topology control problems in ad hoc networks, where network nodes get to choose their power levels in order to ensure desired connectivity properties. Unlike most other w...
To deal with data uncertainty, existing probabilistic database systems augment tuples with attribute-level or tuple-level probability values, which are loaded into the database al...

Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...
We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating m items to n players with subadditive utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution...
