Index tuning, i.e., selecting the indexes appropriate for a workload, is a crucial problem in database system tuning. In this paper, we solve index tuning for large problem instan...
We consider the total weighted completion time scheduling problem for parallel identical machines and precedence constraints, P jprecj PwiCi. This important and broad class of pro...

The sensor network localization, SNL , problem in embedding dimension r, consists of locating the positions of wireless sensors, given only the distances between sensors that are ...
We present a general decomposition algorithm that is uniformly applicable to every (suitably normalized) instance of Convex Quadratic Optimization and efficiently approaches an o...
Privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) is an emergent research area that addresses the incorporation of privacy preserving concerns to data mining techniques. In this paper we prop...
