Our work is motivated by the problem of ranking hyperlinked documents for a given query. Given an arbitrary directed graph with edge and node labels, we present a new flow-based ...
R-tree data structures are widely used in spatial databases to store, manage and manipulate spatial information. As the data volume of such databases is typically very large, the q...

We present a practical algorithm that provably achieves the global optimum for a class of bilinear programs commonly arising in computer vision applications. Our approach relies o...
The problem of key management in access hierarchies studies ways to assign keys to users and classes such that each user, after receiving her secret key(s), is able to independentl...
