We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [9] showed a 2/5-approximation for th...
—In 3G data networks, network operators would like to balance system throughput while serving users in a fair manner. This is achieved using the notion of proportional fairness. ...
In a sensor network there are many paths between a source and a destination. An efficient method to explore and navigate in the ‘path space’ can help many important routing p...
This paper presents a general model for estimating access times of serpentine tape drives. The model is used to schedule I/O requests in order to minimize the total access time. W...
Markov logic networks (MLNs) are a statistical relational model that consists of weighted firstorder clauses and generalizes first-order logic and Markov networks. The current sta...
