Local search is a powerful and well-established method for solving hard combinatorial problems. Yet, until recently, it has provided very little user support, leading to time-consu...
The selection of the branching variable can greatly affect the speed of the branch and bound solution of a mixed-integer or integer linear program. Traditional approaches to branc...
We consider the problem of storing an ordered dictionary data structure over a distributed set of nodes. In contrast to traditional sequential data structures, distributed data st...
—In this paper we face the following problem: how to provide each peer local access to the full information (not just a summary) that is distributed over all edges of an overlay ...
Markov Random Field is now ubiquitous in many formulations
of various vision problems. Recently, optimization
of higher-order potentials became practical using higherorder
