We consider a two-dimensional problem of positron emission tomography where the random mechanism of the generation of the tomographic data is modeled by Poisson processes. The goa...
Automatic tuning has been an elusive goal for database technology for a long time and is becoming a pressing issue for modern E-services. This paper reviews and assesses the advan...
We present a probabilistic analysis of integer linear programs (ILPs). More specifically, we study ILPs in a so-called smoothed analysis in which it is assumed that first an adve...
Controlled Query Evaluation (CQE) defines a logical framework to protect confidential information in a database. By modeling a user's a priori knowledge appropriately, a CQE ...
The volume, location of the centroid, and second order moments of a threedimensional star-shaped object are determined in terms of the spherical harmonic coefficients of its bound...
