We present a new adaptive and energy-efficient broadcast model to support flexible responses to client queries. Clients do not have to request documents by name, since they may kno...
This paper focuses on competitive function evaluation in the context of computing with priced information. A function f is given together with a cost cx for each variable x of f. ...
One major factor that heavily affects the performance of a content distribution network (CDN) is placement of the surrogates. Previous works take a network-centric approach and con...
We present a general method of designing fast approximation algorithms for cut-based minimization problems in undirected graphs. In particular, we develop a technique that given a...
We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...
