The class of variable-length finite-state joint source-channel codes is defined and a polynomial complexity algorithm for the evaluation of their distance spectrum presented. Issu...
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a popular framework for cooperative multi-agent decision making. DCOP is NPhard, so an important line of work focuses on developing f...

We introduce a new dissimilarity function for ranked lists, the expected weighted Hoeffding distance, that has several advantages over current dissimilarity measures for ranked s...
Abstract Given an n-point metric (P,d) and an integer k > 0, we consider the problem of covering P by k balls so as to minimize the sum of the radii of the balls. We present a r...
