We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answ...
Our goal is to develop the capability for characterizing the three-dimensional geological structure and mechanical properties of individual sites and complete basins in earthquake-...

The parallel packet switch (PPS) extends the inverse multiplexing architecture, and is extensively used as the core of contemporary commercial switches. A key factor in the perfor...
In a multicluster architecture, where jobs can be submitted through each constituent cluster, the job arrival rates in individual clusters may be uneven and the load therefore need...
