We address the problem of lowering the buyer’s expected payments in shortest path auctions, where the buyer’s goal is to purchase a path in a graph in which edges are owned by...
Abstract. We present a technique for Merkle tree traversal which requires only logarithmic space and time1 . For a tree with N nodes, our algorithm computes sequential tree leaves ...
A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
If V is a set of n points in the unit square [0, 1]2 , and if R : V + is an assignment of positive real numbers (radii) to to those points, define a graph G(R) as follows: {v, w}...
Existing techniques to mine periodic patterns in time series data are focused on discovering full-cycle periodic patterns from an entire time series. However, many useful partial ...
