We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...
Given a family of disjoint polygons P1, P2, : : :, Pk in the plane, and an integer parameter m, it is NP-complete to decide if the Pi's can be pairwise separated by a polygon...
Database technology is playing an increasingly important role in understanding and solving large-scale and complex scientific and societal problems and phenomena, for instance, un...
The delay and throughput characteristics of a packet switch depend mainly on the queueing scheme and the scheduling algorithm deployed at the switch. Early research on scheduling ...
The WATERWAVES program suite performs complex scattering calculations by propagating a wave packet in a complex, full-dimensional potential for non-rotating (J = 0) but vibrating ...
