We consider the dictionary problem in external memory and improve the update time of the wellknown buffer tree by roughly a logarithmic factor. For any λ ≥ max{lg lg n, logM/B(...
We show that selection on an input of size N can be performed on a P-node hypercube (P = N/(log N)) in time O(N/P) with high probability, provided each node can process all the in...
Planar point location is among the most fundamental search problems in computational geometry. Although this problem has been heavily studied from the perspective of worst-case que...

In this paper, we reveal a common deficiency of the current retrieval models: the component of term frequency (TF) normalization by document length is not lower-bounded properly;...
Sensor networks are becoming an important part of the IT landscape. Existing systems, however, are limited in two fundamental ways: lack of data independence, and poor integration...
