Connected Sensor Cover: Self-Organization of Sensor Networks for Efficient Query Execution
- MOBIHOC'03
, 2003
"... Spatial query execution is an essential functionality of a sensor network, where a query gathers sensor data within a specific geographic region. Redundancy within a sensor network can be exploited to rv uce the communication cost incurv1 in execution of such quer ies. Anyr eduction in communicatio ..."

Vertex Cover: Further Observations and Further Improvements
- Journal of Algorithms
, 1999
"... Recently, there have been increasing interests and progresses in lowering the worst case time complexity for well-known NP-hard problems, in particular for the Vertex Cover problem. In this paper, new properties for the Vertex Cover problem are indicated and several simple and new techniques are int ..."

are introduced, which lead to an improved algorithm of time O(kn + 1:271 k k 2 ) for the problem. Our algorithm also induces improvement on previous algorithms for the Independent Set problem on graphs of small degree. 1 Introduction Many optimization problems from industrial applications are NP-hard. According
Greedy strikes back: Improved facility location algorithms
- Journal of Algorithms
, 1999
"... A fundamental facility location problem is to choose the location of facilities, such as industrial plants and warehouses, to minimize the cost of satisfying the demand for some commodity. There are associated costs for locating the facilities, as well as transportation costs for distributing the co ..."

]. Recently, the first constant factor approximation algorithm for this problem was obtained by Shmoys, Tardos and Aardal [16]. We show that a simple greedy heuristic combined with the algorithm by Shmoys, Tardos and Aardal, can be used to obtain an approximation guarantee of 2.408. We discuss a few variants
Set K-Cover Algorithms for Energy Efficient Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks
- In Proceedings of IPSN’04
, 2004
"... Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are emerging as an e#ective means for environment monitoring. This paper investigates a strategy for energy e#cient monitoring in WSNs that partitions the sensors into covers, and then activates the covers iteratively in a round-robin fashion. This approach takes adva ..."

advantage of the overlap created when many sensors monitor a single area. Our work builds upon previous work in [13], where the model is first formulated. We have designed three approximation algorithms for a variation of the SET K-COVER problem, where the objective is to partition the sensors into covers
Improved Approximation Algorithms for Geometric Set Cover
, 2005
"... Given a collection S of subsets of some set U, and M ⊂ U, the set cover problem is to find the smallest subcollection C ⊂ S such that M is a subset of the union of the sets in C. While the general problem is NP-hard to solve, even approximately, here we consider some geometric special cases, where u ..."

Our proof involves the generalization of shallow cuttings [Mat92] to more general geometric situations. We obtain constant-factor approximation algorithms for covering by unit cubes in ℜ³, for guarding a one

Improved Methods for Approximating Node Weighted Steiner Trees and Connected Dominating Sets
- INFORMATION AND COMPUTATION
, 1999
"... A greedy approximation algorithm based on "spider decompositions" was developed by Klein and Ravi for node weighted Steiner trees. This algorithm provides a worst case approximation ratio of 2 ln k, where k is the number of terminals. However, the best known lower bound on the approximatio ..."

The previous best approximation guarantee for this problem was 3 ln n [7]. By a direct application of the methods developed
A polylogarithmic approximation algorithm for the group Steiner tree problem
- Journal of Algorithms
, 2000
"... The group Steiner tree problem is a generalization of the Steiner tree problem where we ae given several subsets (groups) of vertices in a weighted graph, and the goal is to find a minimum-weight connected subgraph containing at least one vertex from each group. The problem was introduced by Reich a ..."

We give a randomized O(log 3 n log k)-approximation algorithm for the group Steiner tree problem on an n-node graph, where k is the number of groups
A Tight Analysis of the Greedy Algorithm for Set Cover
