As storage systems scale to thousands of disks, data distribution and load balancing become increasingly important. We present an algorithm for allocating data objects to disks as...
Abstract. Rule-based packet classification plays a central role in network intrusion detection systems such as Snort. To enhance performance, these rules are typically compiled int...
This paper introduces a new approach of approximating the selectivity of multimedia range queries. Estimating the selectivity of a range query is a pre-requisite to optimize a mul...
We present an efficient algorithm for the approximate median selection problem. The algorithm works in-place; it is fast and easy to implement. For a large array it returns, with ...
We present an analysis of concentration-of-expectation phenomena in layered Bayesian networks that use generalized linear models as the local conditional probabilities. This frame...
