Multi-Objective Quality-Driven Service Selection-A Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme

Boi Faltings, Immanuel Trummer

The goal of multi-objective quality-driven service selection (QDSS) is to find service selections for a workflow whose quality-of-service (QoS) values are Pareto-optimal. We consider multiple QoS attributes such as response time, cost, and reliability. A s ...

Tight Bounds for Asynchronous Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

This article presents the first tight bounds on the time complexity of shared-memory renaming, a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which a set of processes need to pick distinct identifiers from a small namespace. We first prove an individual ...

Route choice models: bringing behavioral aspects into shortest path

Michel Bierlaire

An introduction to route choice models will be provided. The starting point will be a discussion of behavioral limitations of the shortest path algorithm. The theoretical assumptions necessary to derive behavioral models will be introduced. The complexity ...

How to Allocate Tasks Asynchronously

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Asynchronous task allocation is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which p asynchronous processes must execute a set of m tasks. Also known as write-all or do-all, this problem been studied extensively, both independently and as a key buildi ...

Generating Fast Indulgent Algorithms

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Synchronous distributed algorithms are easier to design and prove correct than algorithms that tolerate asynchrony. Yet, in the real world, networks experience asynchrony and other timing anomalies. In this paper, we address the question of how to efficien ...

On the Construction of Polar Codes

Emre Telatar, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Ramtin Pedarsani

We consider the problem of efficiently constructing polar codes over binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels. The complexity of designing polar codes via an exact evaluation of the polarized channels to find which ones are "good" appears to be exponenti ...

A Weighting Scheme for Enhancing Community Detection in Networks

Martin Hasler, Alireza Khadivi

Many algorithms have recently been proposed for finding communities in networks. By definition, a community is a subset of vertices with a high number of connections among the vertices, but only few connections with other vertices. The worst drawback of mo ...

Pre-Synthesis Optimization of Arithmetic Circuits

Ajay Kumar Verma

The efficient synthesis of circuits is a well-studied problem. Due to the NP-hardness of the problem, no optimal algorithm has been presented so far. However, the heuristics presented by several researchers in the past, which are also adopted by commercial ...

How Efficient Can Gossip Be? (On the Cost of Resilient Information Exchange)

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

Gossip, also known as epidemic dissemination, is becoming an increasingly popular technique in distributed systems. Yet, it has remained a partially open question: how robust are such protocols? We consider a natural extension of the random phone-call mode ...
