Offering a Precision-Performance Tradeoff for Aggregation Queries over Replicated Data
Strict consistency of replicated data is infeasible or not required by many distributed applications, so current systems often permit stale replication, in which cached copies of ...

Disjoint Paths in Densely Embedded Graphs
We consider the following maximum disjoint paths problem (mdpp). We are given a large network, and pairs of nodes that wish to communicate over paths through the network — the g...

An iterative improvement algorithm for low power data path synthesis
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...

Efficient Detection of Determinacy Races in Cilk Programs
A parallel multithreaded program that is ostensibly deterministic may nevertheless behave nondeterministically due to bugs in the code. These bugs are called determinacy races, an...

Intelligent scissors for image composition
We present a new, interactive tool called Intelligent Scissors which we use for image segmentation and composition. Fully automated segmentation is an unsolved problem, while manu...
