Distributed data management systems consist of peers that store, exchange and process data in order to collaboratively achieve a common goal, such as evaluate some query. We study...
We show that the problem of computing a minimum distortion embedding of a given graph into a path remains NP-hard when the input graph is restricted to a bipartite, cobipartite, o...
We show that restricting a number of characterizations of the complexity class P to be positive (in natural ways) results in the same class of (monotone) problems which we denote ...

For every string inclusion relation there are two optimization problems: find a longest string included in every string of a given finite language, and find a shortest string in...
Multi-agent systems are widely used to address large-scale distributed combinatorial applications in the real world. One such application is meeting scheduling (MS), which is de...
