Estimating arbitrary subset sums with few probes
Suppose we have a large table T of items i, each with a weight wi, e.g., people and their salary. In a general preprocessing step for estimating arbitrary subset sums, we assign e...

Distributed opportunistic scheduling for ad-hoc communications: an optimal stopping approach
We consider distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) in wireless ad-hoc networks, where many links contend for the same channel using random access. In such networks, distribute...
