Computation over Gaussian networks with orthogonal components

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Chien-Yi Wang

Function computation of arbitrarily correlated discrete sources over Gaussian networks with multiple access components but no broadcast is studied. Two classes of functions are considered: the arithmetic sum function and the frequency histogram function. T ...

Bidder optimal assignments for general utilities

Monika Henzinger, Ingmar Weber

We study the problem of matching bidders to items where each bidder i has general, strictly monotonic utility functions u(i,j)(p(j)) expressing his utility of being matched to item j at price p(j). For this setting we prove that a bidder optimal outcome al ...

Outsourced Pattern Matching

Sebastian Faust

In secure delegatable computation, computationally weak devices (or clients) wish to outsource their computation and data to an untrusted server in the cloud. While most earlier work considers the general question of how to securely outsource any computati ...

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 ...

Coordination and Sampling in Distributed Constraint Optimization

Brammert Ottens

The Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) framework can be used to model a wide range of optimization problems that are inherently distributed. A distributed optimization problem can be viewed as a problem distributed over a set of agents, where agent ...

Pliable Index Coding

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We propose a new formulation of the index coding problem, where instead of demanding a specific message, clients are “pliable” and are happy to receive any one message they do not have. We prove that with this relaxation, although some instances of this pr ...

Multi-Objective Airport Gate Assignment Problem in Planning and Operations

Michel Bierlaire, Prem Kumar

We consider the assignment of gates to arriving and departing flights at a large hub airport. It is considered to be a highly complex problem even in planning stage when all flight arrivals and departures are assumed to be known precisely in advance. There ...

MPTCP is not Pareto-Optimal: Performance Issues and a Possible Solution

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Nicolas Gabriel Gast, Ramin Khalili, Utkarsh Upadhyay, Miroslav Popovic

MPTCP has been proposed recently as a mechanism for sup- porting transparently multiple connections to the applica- tion layer. It is under discussion at the IETF. We show, however, that the current MPTCP suffers from two prob- lems: (P1) Upgrading some TC ...

Piercing quasi-rectangles-On a problem of Danzer and Rogers

János Pach, Gábor Tardos

It is an old problem of Danzer and Rogers to decide whether it is possible to arrange 0(1/epsilon) points in the unit square so that every rectangle of area epsilon > 0 within the unit square contains at least one of them. We show that the answer to this q ...
