We present the IteratedTverberg algorithm, the first deterministic algorithm for computing an approximate centerpoint of a set S Rd with running time subexponential in d. The alg...
: In this paper, our focus is on certain applications for mobile robotic networks, where reconfiguration is driven by factors intrinsic to the network rather than changes in the ex...
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
The objective of this paper is to emphasize a clear and natural distinction in strategies of sensor network design. In order to display different architectural paradigms in today...
