APPEARED IN ACM PODS-2009. A sliding windows model is an important case of the streaming model, where only the most "recent" elements remain active and the rest are disc...

— In this work, we have extended the concept of constrained motion control of robots to surgical tasks that require multiple robots. We present virtual fixtures to guide the mot...
Composite likelihood methods provide a wide spectrum of computationally efficient techniques for statistical tasks such as parameter estimation and model selection. In this paper,...

In this paper we present a sublinear time (1+ )-approximation randomized algorithm to estimate the weight of the minimum spanning tree of an n-point metric space. The running time...
We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...
