Approximation schemes for Metric Bisection and partitioning
We design polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for Metric BISECTION, i.e. dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize or maximize the sum of di...

SCAN: a small-world structured p2p overlay for multi-dimensional queries
This paper presents a structured P2P overlay SCAN that augments CAN overlay with long links based on Kleinberg's small-world model in a d-dimensional Cartesian space. The con...
