Code-based cryptography is often viewed as an interesting “Post-Quantum” alternative to the classical number theory cryptography. Unlike many other such alternatives, it has th...
Users of distributed systems such as the TeraGrid and Open Science Grid can execute their applications on many different systems. We wish to help such users, or the grid scheduler...
The quantum query complexity of searching for local optima has been a subject of much interest in the recent literature. For the d-dimensional grid graphs, the complexity has been...
The creation of a virtual world environment (VWE) has significant costs, such as maintenance of server rooms, server administration, and customer service. The initial development...

We study the behavior of the classical A∗ search algorithm when coupled with a heuristic that provides estimates, accurate to within a small multiplicative factor, of the distan...
