— Two fundamental functions of the sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network are to sense its environment and to transmit sensed information to a basestation. One approach to pro...
In this paper, we investigate whether a constant round Lasserre Semi-definite Programming (SDP) relaxation might give a good approximation to the UNIQUE GAMES problem. We show tha...
Abstract. In classical approaches to knowledge representation, reasoners are assumed to derive all the logical consequences of their knowledge base. As a result, reasoning in the ï...
Database selection is an important step when searching over large numbers of distributed text databases. The database selection task relies on statistical summaries of the databas...
We exhibit three approximation algorithms for the allocation problem in combinatorial auctions with complement free bidders. The running time of these algorithms is polynomial in ...
