We consider the problem of storing an ordered dictionary data structure over a distributed set of nodes. In contrast to traditional sequential data structures, distributed data st...
Screening is an important task to convert a continuoustone image into a binary image with pure black and white pixels. The main contribution of this paper is to show a new algorit...
It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
—Caching is a popular technique for reducing both server load and user response time in distributed systems. In this paper, we consider the question of whether caching might be e...
