Sets of named entities are used heavily at commercial search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. Acquiring sets of entities typically consists of combining semi-supervised exp...
Considerable research has been done on detecting and blocking portscan activities that are typically conducted by infected hosts to discover other vulnerable hosts. However, the f...
— We consider a scenario where a wireless sensor network is formed by randomly deploying n sensors to measure some spatial function over a field, with the objective of computing...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Multi-dimensional spatial data are obtained when a number of data acquisition devices are deployed at different locations to measure a certain set of attributes of the study subje...
