In a semi-structured database there is no clear separation between the data and the schema, and the degree to which it is structured depends on the application. Semi-structured da...
Motivated by applications to sensor networks and privacy preserving databases, we consider the problem of functional compression. The objective is to separately compress possibly c...
We consider the problem of scheduling on-line a sequence of degradable intervals in a set of k identical machines. Our objective is to find a schedule that maximizes simultaneousl...

Single-language runtime systems, in the form of Java virtual machines, are widely deployed platforms for executing untrusted mobile code. These runtimes provide some of the featur...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is given a sequence of its observations. We define a term called ‘‘deformability index’’ (DI) ...
