Abstract-- We investigate the problem of clustering on distributed data streams. In particular, we consider the k-median clustering on stream data arriving at distributed sites whi...
Consistent query answering is the problem of computing the answers from a database that are consistent with respect to certain integrity constraints that the database as a whole ma...

In thispaper we give a 3-approximationalgorithmfor the problem ojJnding a minimum tree spanning any k-vertices in a graph. Our algorithm extends to a 3-approximationalgorithmfor t...
