In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
We want to perform compile-time analysis of an SPMD program and place barriers in it to synchronize it correctly, minimizing the runtime cost of the synchronization. This is the b...
We study oblivious routing in which the packet paths are constructed independently of each other. We give a simple oblivious routing algorithm for geometric networks in which the ...
In the design of resource bounded agents, high-level cognitive activities, such as reasoning, raise important problems related both to the adaptive ability and to the computationa...
To monitor an electric power system by placing as few phase measurement units (PMUs) as possible is closely related to the famous vertex cover problem and domination problem in gr...
