Reliable storage of large amounts of data is always a delicate issue. Availability, efficiency, data integrity, and confidentiality are some features a data backup system should...
Abstract—Wireless sensor networks(WSNs) have been regarded as an incarnation of Ad Hoc Networks for a specific application. Since a WSN consists of potentially hundreds of low c...
—Bandwidth allocation is a fundamental problem in communication networks. With current network moving towards the Future Internet model, the problem is further intensified as net...
Given a set S of segments in the plane, a polygon P is an intersecting polygon of S if every segment in S intersects the interior or the boundary of P. The problem MPIP of computi...
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing graphs by polygons whose sides touch. We show that at least six sides per polygon are necessary by constructing a class of pl...

Abstract. Many surgical procedures could benefit from guiding a bevel-tip needle along circular arcs to multiple treatment points in a patient. At each treatment point, the needle...

Abstract. We define the notion of diversity for families of finite functions, and express the limitations of a simple class of holographic algorithms in terms of limitations on d...
Topological self-stabilization is an important concept to build robust open distributed systems (such as peer-to-peer systems) where nodes can organize themselves into meaningful n...
For a static array A of n totally ordered objects, a range minimum query asks for the position of the minimum between two specified array indices. We show how to preprocess A into...
We prove that the radix cross-section of a rational set for a length morphism, and more generally for a rational function from a free monoid into N, is rational, a property that d...
