—In this paper we consider the problem of maximizing wireless network capacity (a.k.a. one-shot scheduling) in both the protocol and physical models. We give the first distribut...
Job-shop scheduling is a classical NP-hard problem. Shmoys, Stein, and Wein presented the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem that has a good (polylogar...

Abstract—Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend the network lifetime. Fo...
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...
Abstract. We consider the problem of approximating the average distance between pairs of points in a high-dimensional Euclidean space, and more generally in any metric space. We co...
