We present an improved oracle for the distance sensitivity problem. The goal is to preprocess a directed graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights to answer queries of the f...
The range searching problem is a fundamental problem in computational geometry, with numerous important applications. Most research has focused on solving this problem exactly, bu...
The generalized hypertree width GHW(H) of a hypergraph H is a measure of its cyclicity. Classes of conjunctive queries or constraint satisfaction problems whose associated hypergr...
We propose the role-and-relation-based access control (R2 BAC) model for workflow systems. In R2 BAC, in addition to a user's role memberships, the user's relationships w...
Identifying communities in social networks is a problem of great interest. One popular type of community is where every member of the community knows all others, which can be view...
