We study algorithms for clustering data that were recently proposed by Balcan, Blum and Gupta in SODA’09 [4] and that have already given rise to two follow-up papers. The input f...
Abstract. We give processor-allocation algorithms for grid architectures, where the objective is to select processors from a set of available processors to minimize the average num...

We study a generalization of the classical secretary problem which we call the “matroid secretary problem”. In this problem, the elements of a matroid are presented to an onli...

We study the problem of computing approximate quantiles in large-scale sensor networks communication-efficiently, a problem previously studied by Greenwald and Khana [12] and Shri...
The problem of coloring a set of n intervals (from the real line) with a set of k colors is studied. In such a coloring, two intersecting intervals must receive distinct colors. O...
