Accurate and efficient integration of geospatial data is an important problem with applications in areas such as emergency response and urban planning. Some of the key challenges ...
Given a dataset P and a preference function f, a top-k query retrieves the k tuples in P with the highest scores according to f. Even though the problem is well-studied in convent...
In this paper we present a new class of stream ciphers based on a very simple mechanism. The heart of our method is a Feedback with Carry Shift Registers (FCSR) automaton. This au...
Although IP-multicast has been proposed and investigated for years, there are major problems inherent in the IP-multicasting technique, e.g., difficulty to scale up the system, di...
