Robots operating in a workspace can localize themselves by querying nodes of a sensor-network deployed in the same workspace. This paper addresses the problem of computing the min...
Locally Decodable Code (LDC) is a code that encodes a message in a way that one can decode any particular symbol of the message by reading only a constant number of locations, eve...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for fast nearest neighbors retrieval in non-Euclidean and non-metric spaces. We organize the data into a hierarchical fashion that preserv...
We describe a load-balancing mechanism for assigning elements to servers in a distributed data structure that supports range queries. The mechanism ensures both load-balancing wit...

A (q, , )-locally decodable code (LDC) C : {0, 1}n {0, 1}m is an encoding from n-bit strings to m-bit strings such that each bit xk can be recovered with probability at least 1 2 +...
