We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
In a public cloud, bandwidth is traditionally priced in a pay-asyou-go model. Reflecting the recent trend of augmenting cloud computing with bandwidth guarantees, we consider a n...
While a natural fit for modeling and understanding mobile networks, time-varying graphs remain poorly understood. Indeed, many of the usual concepts of static graphs have no obvi...

Sequence comparison is considered as a cornerstone application in bioinformatics, which forms the basis of many other applications. In particular, pairwise sequence alignment is a...

To exploit the similarity information hidden in the hyperlink structure of the web, this paper introduces algorithms scalable to graphs with billions of vertices on a distributed ...
