Abstract. We present protocols for distributed computation of relational intersections and equi-joins such that each site gains no information about the tuples at the other site th...
Although conventional database management systems are designed to tolerate hardware and to a lesser extent even software errors, they cannot protect themselves against syntactical...
Distributed writable storage systems typically provide NFS-like semantics and unbounded persistence for files. We claim that for planetary-scale distributed services such facilit...
: Because of the semantic gap between low-level feature and high-level semantic feature of images, the results of the traditional color-based image retrieval can't meet users&...
Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
