Abstract. We address the problem of designing optimal prefix-free codes over an encoding alphabet with unequal integer letter costs. The most efficient algorithm proposed so far ha...
We present a novel approach to conserve power in networked mobile devices. Our approach exploits communication within a pervasive smart space as an opportunity to save power as op...
Image segmentation based on pairwise pixel similarities has been a very active field of research in recent years. The drawbacks common to these segmentation methods are the enormou...
In this paper we explore private computation built on vector addition and its applications in privacypreserving data mining. Vector addition is a surprisingly general tool for imp...
We identify and formalize a novel join operator for two spatial pointsets P and Q. The common influence join (CIJ) returns the pairs of points (p, q), p P, q Q, such that there e...
