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...
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
Consider the edge-connectivity survivable network design problem: given a graph G = (V, E) with edge-costs, and edgeconnectivity requirements rij Z0 for every pair of vertices i,...
Most models for online advertising assume that an advertiser's value from winning an ad auction, which depends on the clickthrough rate or conversion rate of the advertisemen...
Moving point object data can be analyzed through the discovery of patterns. We consider the computational efficiency of computing two of the most basic spatio-temporal patterns in...
Moving point object data can be analyzed through the discovery of patterns. We consider the computational efficiency of detecting four such spatio-temporal patterns, namely flock,...
