In this paper, we propose a stochastic model to describe how search service providers charge client companies based on users' queries for the keywords related to these compan...
We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
A schema mapping is a specification that describes how data structured under one schema (the source schema) is to be transformed into data structured under a different schema (the...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
Cooperation among wireless nodes has been recently proposed for improving the physical layer (PHY) security of wireless transmission in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. Whil...
