Let C be a code of length n over an alphabet of size q. A word d is a descendant of a pair of codewords x, y C if di {xi, yi} for 1 i n. A code C is an identifiable parent prop...
Molecular interaction databases can be used to study the evolution of molecular pathways across species. Querying such pathways is a challenging computational problem, and recent e...
We show that, in the ideal-cipher model, triple encryption (the cascade of three independently-keyed blockciphers) is more secure than single or double encryption, thereby resolvin...
This paper investigates the role of online resources in problem solving. We look specifically at how programmers--an exemplar form of knowledge workers--opportunistically interlea...

Testing an SQL database system by running large sets of deterministic or stochastic SQL statements is common practice in commercial database development. However, code defects oft...
