An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
The development of practical, localized algorithms is probably the most needed and most challenging task in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks (WASNs). Localized algorithms are a spe...
— Information extraction systems are traditionally implemented as a pipeline of special-purpose processing modules. A major drawback of such an approach is that whenever a new ex...
Abstract. We consider generic Garbled Circuit (GC)-based techniques for Secure Function Evaluation (SFE) in the semi-honest model. We describe efficient GC constructions for additi...

Optimistic replication approaches are often employed on mobile devices, which raises the need for reconciliation of concurrently modified data. We propose that three-way merging ...
