We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
We develop a new technique of proving lower bounds for the randomized communication complexity of boolean functions in the multiparty `Number on the Forehead' model. Our meth...
We propose strategies to efficiently execute a query workload, which consists of multiple related queries submitted against a scientific dataset, on a distributed-memory system in...
We consider two generalizations of the edge coloring problem in bipartite graphs. The first problem we consider is the weighted bipartite edge coloring problem where we are given a...
In computational social choice, one important problem is to take the votes of a subelectorate (subset of the voters), and summarize them using a small number of bits. This needs t...
