We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
Business to consumer (B2C) electronic commerce has led to new relationships connecting various supply chain partners via the Internet, significantly increasing the quantity and qu...
With increasing design complexity, as well as continued scaling of supplies, the design and analysis of power/ground distribution networks poses a difficult problem in modern IC d...
Modern networks are very complex. It is highly desirable to reduce management complexity in next generation network design. Researchers have been seeking inspiration in natural ob...
