Indexing Internal Memory with Minimal Perfect Hash Functions
A perfect hash function (PHF) is an injective function that maps keys from a set S to unique values, which are in turn used to index a hash table. Since no collisions occur, each k...

Hierarchical spatial gossip for multi-resolution representations in sensor networks
In this paper we propose a lightweight algorithm for constructing multi-resolution data representations for sensor networks. We compute, at each sensor node u, O(log n) aggregates...
