Micro-data protection is a hot topic in the field of Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC), that has gained special interest after the disclosure of 658000 queries by the AOL searc...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
A novel and very simple correct-by-construction top-down methodology for high-utilization mixed-size placement is presented. The PolarBear algorithm combines recursive cutsize-dri...
— We present SMART, a self-tuning, bandwidth-aware monitoring system that maximizes result precision of continuous aggregate queries over dynamic data streams. While prior approa...
