Congestion control algorithms, such as TCP or the closelyrelated additive increase-multiplicative decrease algorithms, are extremely difficult to simulate on a large scale. The re...
Personalized PageRank expresses backlink-based page quality around user-selected pages in a similar way to PageRank over the entire Web. Algorithms for computing personalized Page...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...
Several centralized and distributed algorithms have been recently proposed to maximize the multicast lifetime for directional communications in wireless ad-hoc networks. Their per...
