In recent years it has been argued that when XML encodings become complex, DOM trees are no longer adequate for query processing. Alternative representations of XML documents, suc...
Stochastic local search algorithms can now successfully solve MAXSAT problems with thousands of variables or more. A key to this success is how effectively the search can navigate...

In this paper, we show how we can derive lower bounds and also compute the exact distortion for the line embeddings of some special metrics, especially trees and graphs with certai...
Packet delay greatly influences the overall performance of network applications. It is therefore important to identify causes and location of delay performance degradation within ...

We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
