We describe a simple randomized construction for generating pairs of hash functions h1, h2 from a universe U to ranges V = [m] = {0, 1, . . . , m - 1} and W = [m] so that for ever...
Many search problems contain large amounts of redundancy in the search. In this paper we examine how to automatically exploit remaining subproblem equivalence, which arises when tw...

This paper investigates randomization and replication as strategies to achieve reliable performance in disk arrays targeted for video-on-demand (VoD) workloads. A disk array can p...
Depth-first branch-and-bound (DFBnB) is a complete algorithm that is typically used to find optimal solutions of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. It can also be adap...
We consider the problem of computing efficient strategies for searching in trees. As a generalization of the classical binary search for ordered lists, suppose one wishes to find...
