The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...
We study the problem of aggregating partial rankings. This problem is motivated by applications such as meta-searching and information retrieval, search engine spam fighting, e-c...
We study the computational complexity of reasoning with global constraints. We show that reasoning with such constraints is intractable in general. We then demonstrate how the sam...
The Snort intrusion detection system is a widely used and well-regarded open sourcesystem used for the detection of malicious activity in conventional wired networks. Recently, so...
Automatically determining the situation of an ad-hoc group of people and devices within a smart environment is a significant challenge in pervasive computing systems. Current appro...
