On the Construction of a Maximum-Lifetime Data Gathering Tree in Sensor Networks: NP-Completeness and Approximation Algorithm
Abstract—Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend the network lifetime. Fo...

Approximate Analysis of Probabilistic Processes: Logic, Simulation and Games
We tackle the problem of non robustness of simulation and bisimulation when dealing with probabilistic processes. It is important to ignore tiny deviations in probabilities becaus...

An Efficient Approach to Extracting Approximate Repeating Patterns in Music Databases
Pattern extraction from music strings is an important problem. The patterns extracted from music strings can be used as features for music retrieval or analysis. Previous works on ...

Approximating the top-m passages in a parallel question answering system
We examine the problem of retrieving the top-m ranked items from a large collection, randomly distributed across an n-node system. In order to retrieve the top m overall, we must ...

Lazy Approximation for Dense Real-Time Systems
We propose an effective and complete method for verifying safety and properties of timed systems, which is based on predicate abstraction for g finite abstractions of timed autom...
