Given a set D = {d1, d2, ..., dD} of D strings of total length n, our task is to report the "most relevant" strings for a given query pattern P. This involves somewhat mo...
This paper considers two similar graph algorithms that work by repeatedly increasing "flow" along "augmenting paths": the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for the maxi...

Among the most important challenges for contemporary AI research are the development of methods for improved robustness, adaptability, and overall interactiveness of systems. Inter...
The dynamic point coverage problem in wireless sensor networks is to detect some moving target points in the area of the network using as little sensor nodes as possible. One way ...
