An important extension of satisfiability testing is model-counting, a task that corresponds to problems such as probabilistic reasoning and computing the permanent of a Boolean ma...
In hierarchical distributed systems, shared data access can be controlled by assigning user groups single cryptographic keys that allow high level users derive low level keys, but...
A measure of aesthetics that has been used in automated layout is described. The approach combines heuristic measures of attributes that degrade the aesthetic quality. The combina...

We address the problem of curvature estimation from sampled smooth surfaces. Building upon the theory of normal cycles, we derive a definition of the curvature tensor for polyhed...
We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
