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 ...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
As dynamic web content and security capabilities are becoming popular in current web sites, the performance demand on application servers that host the sites is increasing, leadin...
— This paper addresses the problem of classifying places in the environment of a mobile robot into semantic categories. We believe that semantic information about the type of pla...
StaticPSM (Power-Saving Mode)schemes employed in the current IEEE 802.11 implementations could not provide any delag-performance guarantee because of their fixed wakeup intervals. ...
