Metric access methods (MAMs) serve as a tool for speeding similarity queries. However, all MAMs developed so far are index-based; they need to build an index on a given database. T...
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...
The Prover/Delayer game is a combinatorial game that can be used to prove upper and lower bounds on the size of Tree Resolution proofs, and also perfectly characterizes the space ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining a minimum spanning tree within a graph with dynamically changing edge weights. An online algorithm is confronted with an input sequ...
This paper presents an efficient technique for placement and routing of sensors/actuators and processing units in a grid network. Our system requires an extremely high level of ro...
