An important problem in wireless networks, such as wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks s...
A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...
We present an algorithm by which nodes arranged in a tree, with each node initially knowing only its parent and children, can construct a fault-tolerant communication structure (a...
We study the problem of asymptotically reducing the runtime of serial computations with circuits of polynomial size. We give an algorithmic size-depth tradeoff for parallelizing ...
Record deduplication is the task of merging database records that refer to the same underlying entity. In relational databases, accurate deduplication for records of one type is o...
