We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...
In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...
Replication is a commonly proposed solution to problems of scale associated with distributed services. However, when a service is replicated, each client must be assigned a server...
Given a database instance and a corresponding view instance, we address the view definitions problem (VDP): Find the most succinct and accurate view definition, when the view quer...

In reinforcement learning, least-squares temporal difference methods (e.g., LSTD and LSPI) are effective, data-efficient techniques for policy evaluation and control with linear v...
