— Loss networks provide a powerful tool for the analysis and design of many communication and networking systems. It is well known that a large number of loss networks have produ...
Histograms and Wavelet synopses provide useful tools in query optimization and approximate query answering. Traditional histogram construction algorithms, such as V-Optimal, optim...
Name matching—recognizing when two different strings are likely to denote the same entity—is an important task in many legal information systems, such as case-management syste...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
Markov random fields are designed to represent structured dependencies among large collections of random variables, and are well-suited to capture the structure of real-world sign...
