Fast computation of the median by successive binning
In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

TASM: Top-k Approximate Subtree Matching
Abstract-- We consider the Top-k Approximate Subtree Matching (TASM) problem: finding the k best matches of a small query tree, e.g., a DBLP article with 15 nodes, in a large docum...

Contour Approximation in Sensor Networks
Abstract. We propose a distributed scheme called Adaptive-GroupMerge for sensor networks that, given a parameter k, approximates a geometric shape by a k-vertex polygon. The algori...
