In this paper, we propose a framework for QualityDriven Delivery (QDD) in distributed multimedia environments. Quality-driven delivery refers to the capacity of a system to delive...
The capacity of today's network links, along with the heterogeneity of their traffic, is rapidly growing, more than the workstation’s processing power. This makes the task ...
It is well-known that n players connected only by pairwise secure channels can achieve multi-party computation secure against an active adversary if and only if – t < n/2 of t...
In this paper, we study the effects of compression on bitmap indexes. The main operations on the bitmaps during query processing are bitwise logical operations such as AND, OR, N...
The formulation of planning as heuristic search with heuristics derived from problem representations has turned out to be a fruitful approach for classical planning. In this paper...
