In this paper, we propose an online aggregation system called COSMOS (Continuous Sampling for Multiple queries in an Online aggregation System), to process multiple aggregate quer...
In this paper the judgement consisting in choosing a function that is believed to dominate the true probability distribution of a continuous random variable is explored. This kind...
This paper investigates some modular powering functions suitable for cryptography. It is well known that the Rabin encryption function is a 4-to-1 mapping and breaking its one-wayn...
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of a combinatorial problem that arises in the reverse engineering of protein and gene networks. Our contributions are as ...
