Recently, a new Pattern Recognition technique based on straight line segments (SLSs) was presented. The key issue in this new technique is to find a function based on distances b...
In this paper we study the problem of deciding whether a regular path query over views in data-integration systems can be re-expressed without recursion. The problem becomes chall...
— Many network operators offer some type of tiered service, in which users may select only from a small set of service levels (tiers). Such a service has the potential to simplif...
We consider the problem of balancing the load among m service-providing facilities, while keeping the total cost low. Let R be the underlying demand region, and let p1, . . . , pm...
In applications such as fraud and intrusion detection, it is of great interest to measure the evolving trends in the data. We consider the problem of quantifying changes between tw...
