Databases of moving objects are important for air traffic control, ground traffic, and battlefield configurations. We introduce the (historical and spatial) range close-pair query...
Distributed Lagrangian Relaxation Protocol (DisLRP) has been proposed to solve a distributed combinatorial maximization problem called the Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (G...
—In 3G data networks, network operators would like to balance system throughput while serving users in a fair manner. This is achieved using the notion of proportional fairness. ...
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...
