We propose a new formulation of the clustering problem that differs from previous work in several aspects. First, the goal is to explicitly output a collection of simple and meani...
A binary constraints network consists of a set of n variables, defined on domains of size at most d, and a set of e binary constraints. The binary constraint satisfaction problem ...
We consider the fundamental problem of authenticated group key exchange among n parties within a larger and insecure public network. A number of solutions to this problem have bee...
Abstract. The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such t...
Abstract. One of the main challenges of grid systems of large scale and data intensive is that of providing high availability and performance, in spite of the unreliability and del...
