THIS PAPER IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE STUDENT PAPER AWARD. We consider distributed computation of functions of distributed data in random planar networks with noisy wireless links. We pre...
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...
We present an algorithm for the independent set problem on semi-random graphs, which are generated as follows: An adversary chooses an n-vertex graph, and then each edge is flipp...
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

—This paper formally establishes that random access scheduling schemes, and, more specifically CSMA-CA, yields exceptionally good performance in the context of wireless multihop...
