Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
We present a novel algorithm for optimally segmenting dynamic scenes containing multiple rigidly moving objects. We cast the motion segmentation problem as a constrained nonlinear...
We study a design and optimization problem that occurs, for example, when single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are to be genotyped using a universal DNA tag array. The problem o...

Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
