A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...
—One approach to prolong the lifetime of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is to deploy some relay nodes to communicate with the sensor nodes, other relay nodes, and the base stati...

Belief propagation is widely used in inference of graphical models. It yields exact solutions when the underlying graph is singly connected. When the graph contains loops, double-c...
Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
In this work, we study the notion of competing campaigns in a social network. By modeling the spread of influence in the presence of competing campaigns, we provide necessary too...
