We investigate Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) procedures for the random sampling of some one-dimensional lattice paths with constraints, for various constraints. We will see that...
Flash memory affects not only storage options but also query processing. In this paper, we analyze the use of flash memory for database query processing, including algorithms that...

Sensor networks are being used for implementation of a large number of applications involving distributed and collaborative computation. Extensive research has focused upon design ...
We present new algebraic approaches for several wellknown combinatorial problems, including non-bipartite matching, matroid intersection, and some of their generalizations. Our wo...
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...
