We study the online multi-level aggregation problem with deadlines (MLAP-D) introduced by Bienkowski et al. (ESA 2016, OR 2020). In this problem, requests arrive over time at the vertices of a given vertex-weighted tree, and each request…

In this paper, we consider the multi-level aggregation problem with deadlines (MLAPD) previously studied by Bienkowski et al. (2015), Buchbinder et al. (2017), and Azar and Touitou (2019). This is an online problem where the algorithm…

This paper presents a new research direction for online Multi-Level Aggregation (MLA) with delays. In this problem, we are given an edge-weighted rooted tree $T$, and we have to serve a sequence of requests arriving at its vertices in an…

We consider a multi-level aggregation problem in a weighted rooted tree, studied recently by Bienkowski et al. (2015). In this problem requests arrive over time at the nodes of the tree, and each request specifies a deadline. A request is…

This paper studies a new online problem, referred to as \emph{min-cost perfect matching with delays (MPMD)}, defined over a finite metric space (i.e., a complete graph with positive edge weights obeying the triangle inequality)…

The Weighted Tree Augmentation problem (WTAP) is a fundamental problem in network design. In this paper, we consider this problem in the online setting. We are given an $n$-vertex spanning tree $T$ and an additional set $L$ of edges (called…

Emerging reconfigurable optical communication technologies allow to enhance datacenter topologies with demand-aware links optimized towards traffic patterns. This paper studies the algorithmic problem of jointly optimizing topology and…

The Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) is a classical inventory management problem, that aims to model the trade-off between coordinating orders for multiple commodities (and their cost) with holding costs incurred by meeting demand in…

The performance of many large-scale and data-intensive distributed systems critically depends on the capacity of the interconnecting network. This paper is motivated by the vision of self-adjusting infrastructures whose resources can be…

We consider the problem of online Min-cost Perfect Matching with Delays (MPMD) recently introduced by Emek et al, (STOC 2016). This problem is defined on an underlying $n$-point metric space. An adversary presents real-time requests online…

In many problems, the inputs arrive over time, and must be dealt with irrevocably when they arrive. Such problems are online problems. A common method of solving online problems is to first solve the corresponding linear program, and then…

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for the network slicing problem which attempts to map multiple customized virtual network requests (also called services) to a common shared network infrastructure and allocate network…

In this paper, we propose the Ordered Median Tree Location Problem (OMT). The OMT is a single-allocation facility location problem where p facilities must be placed on a network connected by a non-directed tree. The objective is to minimize…

The Maximum Clique Problem (MCP) is a foundational NP-hard problem with wide-ranging applications, yet no single algorithm consistently outperforms all others across diverse graph instances. This underscores the critical need for…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used to learn vector representation of graph-structured data and achieved better task performance than conventional methods. The foundation of GNNs is the message passing procedure, which…

There is a fundamental trade-off between the communication cost and latency in information aggregation. Aggregating multiple communication messages over time can alleviate overhead and improve energy efficiency on one hand, but inevitably…

Contention tree algorithm is initially invented as a solution to improve the stable throughput problem of Slotted ALOHA in multiple access schemes. Even though the throughput is stabilized in tree algorithms, the delay of requests may grow…

Motivated primarily by applications in cloud computing, we study a simple, yet powerful, online allocation problem in which jobs of varying durations arrive over continuous time and must be assigned immediately and irrevocably to one of the…

The Matching Augmentation Problem (MAP) has recently received significant attention as an important step towards better approximation algorithms for finding cheap $2$-edge connected subgraphs. This has culminated in a…

The Maximum Agreement Forest (Maf) problem is a well-studied problem in evolutionary biology, which asks for a largest common subforest of a given collection of phylogenetic trees with identical leaf label-set. However, the previous work…
