We present a randomized Byzantine Agreement (BA) protocol with an expected running time of O(log n) rounds, in a synchronous full-information network of n players. For any constan...
The doubling dimension of a metric is the smallest k such that any ball of radius 2r can be covered using 2k balls of raThis concept for abstract metrics has been proposed as a na...
Skyline queries help users make intelligent decisions over complex data, where different and often conflicting criteria are considered. Current skyline computation methods are rest...

Decision support queries that scan large indexes can suffer significant degradation in I/O performance due to index fragmentation. DBAs rely on rules of thumb that use index size a...
We introduce a new variant of the popular Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) called Geometric Burrows-Wheeler Transform (GBWT). Unlike BWT, which merely permutes the text, GBWT conve...
