The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously materialized views over the database, rather than accessing...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
Finding a maximum cardinality matching in a graph is a problem appearing in numerous settings. The problem asks for a set of edges of maximum cardinality, such that no two edges of...

In many settings the power of truthful mechanisms is severely bounded. In this paper we use randomization to overcome this problem. In particular, we construct an FPTAS for multi-...
Fuzzy Logic Systems are widely recognized to be successful at modelling uncertainty in a large variety of applications. While recently interval type-2 fuzzy logic has been credited...
