The bounded diameter minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising, for example, in network design when quality of service is of concern. ...
A fundamental aspect of rating-based recommender systems is the observation process, the process by which users choose the items they rate. Nearly all research on collaborative ļ¬...
In this paper we present an advanced bidding agent that participates in ļ¬rst-price sealed bid auctions to allocate advertising space on BluScreen ā an experimental public adve...

We deļ¬ne two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratiļ¬ers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...
We propose a network characterization of combinatorial ļ¬tness landscapes by adapting the notion of inherent networks proposed for energy surfaces [5]. We use the well-known fami...
