We analyze the convergence of randomized trace estimators. Starting at 1989, several algorithms have been proposed for estimating the trace of a matrix by 1 M M i=1 zT i Azi, where...
This paper investigates randomization and replication as strategies to achieve reliable performance in disk arrays targeted for video-on-demand (VoD) workloads. A disk array can p...
Hand-drawn diagrams present a complex recognition problem. Elements of the diagram are often individually ambiguous, and require context to be interpreted. We present a recognitio...
Mobility, in its various forms, is one of the sources of several technical challenges being addressed in the last years to achieve a more flexible computing and communication inf...
We study the k-wise independent relaxation of the usual model G(N, p) of random graphs where, as in this model, N labeled vertices are fixed and each edge is drawn with probabili...
