Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
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 ...

A Clustered Index Approach to Distributed XPath Processing
Supporting top-k queries over distributed collections of schemaless XML data poses two challenges. While XML supports expressive query languages such as XPath and XQuery, these la...

Efficient search engine measurements
We address the problem of measuring global quality metrics of search engines, like corpus size, index freshness, and density of duplicates in the corpus. The recently proposed est...
