We present Cluster Onset Detection (COD), a novel algorithm to aid in detection of epidemic outbreaks. COD employs unsupervised learning techniques in an online setting to partiti...
Particle systems have been incorporated into a wide variety of applications in both academia and industry. They can be employed to investigate complex natural phenomena, illustrat...
We consider a general approach to the hoary problem of (im)proving circuit lower bounds. We define notions of hardness condensing and hardness extraction, in analogy to the corres...
Abstract The significant overhead related to frequent location updates from moving objects often results in poor performance. As most of the location updates do not affect the quer...
On a wired network, physical authentication is implicitly provided by access: if a user is able to plug a cable into a network socket, he must have cleared other security checks s...
