This paper sketches the design, and presents a scalability analysis and evaluation of NLS, a scalable naming and location service. NLS resolves textual names to the nearest of a s...
When using object-oriented frameworks it is easy to overlook certain important method calls that are required at particular places in code. In this paper, we provide a comprehensiv...
In this work, we investigate the use of online or “crawling” algorithms to sample large social networks in order to determine the most influential or important individuals wit...
We present a novel graph ranking model to extract a diverse set of answers for complex questions via random walks over a negative-edge graph. We assign a negative sign to edge weig...
This paper deals with the generation of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD), a hard constrained combinatorial problem with multiple applications. This problem is here formulat...
