We consider the use of a cluster of PC servers for Application Service Providers where applications and databases must remain autonomous. We use data replication to improve data av...
In the Database-As-a-Service (DAS) model, clients store their database contents at servers belonging to potentially untrusted service providers. To maintain data confidentiality, ...
In this paper, we propose an approach to learning appearance models of moving objects directly from compressed video. The appearance of a moving object changes dynamically in vide...
Consider a two-party quantum communication protocol for computing some function f : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}n → Z. We show that the first message of P can be compressed to O(k) classi...
We address the problem of efficient end-to-end network monitoring of path metrics in communication networks. Our goal is to minimize the number of measurements or monitors requir...
