Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
Cloud computing is increasingly considered as an additional computational resource platform for scientific workflows. The cloud offers opportunity to scale-out applications from d...
Web search engines are often implemented as centralized systems. Designing and implementing a Web search engine in a distributed environment is a challenging engineering task that...

Submodular maximization generalizes many important problems including Max Cut in directed/undirected graphs and hypergraphs, certain constraint satisfaction problems and maximum f...
We introduce a new feature size for bounded domains in the plane endowed with an intrinsic metric. Given a point x in a domain X, the homotopy feature size of X at x measures half...
