This paper deals with the on-line allocation of shared data objects to the local memory modules of the nodes in a network. We assume that the data is organized in indivisible objec...
We prove the first non-trivial (super linear) lower bound in the noisy broadcast model, defined by El Gamal in [6]. In this model there are n + 1 processors P0, P1, . . . , Pn, ...

The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
Most similarity search techniques map the data objects into some high-dimensional feature space. The similarity search then corresponds to a nearest-neighbor search in the feature...
