Private information retrieval (PIR) enables a user to retrieve a data item from a database, replicated among one or more servers, while hiding the identity of the retrieved item. ...
We propose a programming paradigm called compress-and-conquer (CC) that leads to optimal performance on multicore platforms. Given a multicore system of p cores and a problem of s...
Optimal control problems for constrained linear systems with a linear cost can be posed as multiparametric linear programs with a parameter in the cost, or equivalently the right-...

In this paper, we propose a joint face orientation estimation in smart camera networks without having to localize the cameras in advance. The system is composed of in-node coarse ...
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
