We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...
We give a new characterization of those languages that are definable in fragments of LTL where the nesting depths of X and U modalities are bounded by given constants. This brings...
Designs for distributed systems must consider the possibility that failures will arise and must adopt specific failure detection strategies. We describe and analyze a self-regulat...

Abstract. We introduce the notion of coordination mechanisms to improve the performance in systems with independent selfish and noncolluding agents. The quality of a coordination ...

The canonical algorithm to enforce box consistency over a constraint relies on a dichotomic process to isolate the leftmost and rightmost solutions. We identify some weaknesses of...
