—In this paper, we argue that weak cache consistency mechanisms supported by existing Web proxy caches must be augmented by strong consistency mechanisms to support the growing d...
This paper proposes a novel representation of the free space of mobile robot by distinct, non-overlapping regions called Edge Visibility Regions (EVRs). An algorithm to partition ...
Canonical problems are simplified representations of a class of real world problems. They allow researchers to compare algorithms in a standard setting which captures the most im...
We present and analyze portable access control mechanisms for large data repositories, in that the customized access policies are stored on a portable device (e.g., a smart card). ...
We discuss information retrieval methods that aim at serving a diverse stream of user queries such as those submitted to commercial search engines. We propose methods that emphasi...
