We establish the first nontrivial lower bounds on timespace tradeoffs for the selection problem. We prove that any comparison-based randomized algorithm for finding the median ...
—“War of the worms” is a war between opposing computer worms, creating complex worm interactions as well as detrimental impact on infrastructure. For example, in September 20...
Systems integration is a major challenge in many industries. Systematic analysis of the complex integration effects, especially with respect to timing and performance, significant...
— We consider the situation where users rank items from a given set, and each user ranks only a (small) subset of all items. We assume that users can be classified into C classe...
We study the simultaneous message passing model of communication complexity. Building on the quantum fingerprinting protocol of Buhrman et al., Yao recently showed that a large cl...
