Branch-and-bound algorithms are general methods applicable to various combinatorial optimization problems and parallelization is one of the most hopeful methods to improve these a...
A common statistical problem is that of nding the median element in a set of data. This paper presents a fastand portable parallel algorithm for nding the median given a set of el...
Recent advance in scalable video coding (SVC) makes it possible for users to receive the same video with different qualities. To adopt SVC in P2P streaming, two key design questio...
Hash tables are fundamental data structures that optimally answer membership queries. Suppose a client stores n elements in a hash table that is outsourced at a remote server so t...
We propose a sensornet programming model based on declarative spatio-temporal constraints on events only, not sensors. Where previous approaches conflate events and sensors becaus...
