Distributed-system observation tools require an efficient data structure to store and query the partial-order of execution. Such data structures typically use vector timestamps to...
This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
The database query optimizer requires the estimation of the query selectivity to find the most efficient access plan. For queries referencing multiple attributes from the same rel...
We consider the problem of maintaining a binary search tree (BST) that minimizes the average access cost needed to satisfy randomly generated requests. We analyze scenarios in whi...
Abstract We propose in this paper a novel approach to the classification of discrete sequences. This approach builds a model fitting some dynamical features deduced from the learni...
