Randomized Truthful Algorithms for Scheduling Selfish Tasks on Parallel Machines
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...

On the Power of Randomization in Algorithmic Mechanism Design
In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...

Inverse agreement algorithms with application to swarm dispersion for multiple nonholonomic agents
— We propose an inverse agreement control strategy for multiple nonholonomic agents that forces the team members to disperse in the workspace in a distributed manner. Both the ca...

On distributing symmetric streaming computations
A common approach for dealing with large data sets is to stream over the input in one pass, and perform computations using sublinear resources. For truly massive data sets, howeve...
