— In this paper we consider the problem of query and search in a network, e.g., searching for a specific node or a piece of data. We limit our attention to the class of TTL (tim...
Minimal Switching Graph (MSG) is a graphical model for the constrained via minimization problem — a combinatorial optimization problem in integrated circuit design automation. F...
Existing retrieval models generally do not offer any guarantee for optimal retrieval performance. Indeed, it is even difficult, if not impossible, to predict a model’s empirica...
Implicit query systems examine a document and automatically conduct searches for the most relevant information. In this paper, we offer three contributions to implicit query resea...
Packet loss can severely impact streaming video quality. Repair techniques protect streaming video from packet loss but at the price of a reduced effective transmission rate when...
