In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...
—As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as multimedia, spatial, time-series, and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retri...
In applications of biometric databases the typical task is to identify individuals according to features which are not exactly known. Reasons for this inexactness are varying meas...
