We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...
Security infrastructures are increasingly used in the health care and welfare sector, particularly for providing security, like confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, nonrepudi...
Although open-source software development has virtues, there is reason to believe that the approach would not have a significant effect on the security of today’s systems. The ...
In this paper we present novel algorithms for computing scenes and within-scene structures in films. We begin by mapping insights from film-making rules and experimental results f...
Extensible systems, such as Java or the SPIN extensible operating system, allow for units of code, or extensions, to be added to a running system in almost arbitrary fashion. Exte...
