For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
We study the complexity issues for Walrasian equilibrium in a special case of combinatorial auction, called single-minded auction, in which every participant is interested in only ...
The goal of spatial co-location pattern mining is to find subsets of spatial features frequently located together in spatial proximity. Example co-location patterns include servi...
— In this paper, we propose a novel and efficient content-aware dispatching algorithm. Our approach eliminates the potential bottleneck and the single point of failure problems ...
We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...
