Combining search results from multimedia sources is crucial for dealing with heterogeneous multimedia data, particularly in multimedia retrieval where a final ranked list of item...
This paper studies the optimality, scalability and stability of stateof-the-art partitioning and placement algorithms. We present algorithms to construct two classes of benchmarks...
We study the complexity of the inclusion, equivalence, and intersection problem for simple regular expressions arising in practical XML schemas. These basically consist of the conc...
The “XL-algorithm” is a computational method to solve overdetermined systems of polynomial equations which is based on a generalization of the well-known method of linearizatio...
Abstract. Treewidth is a graph parameter with several interesting theoretical and practical applications. This survey reviews algorithmic results on determining the treewidth of a ...
We present upper bounds on the computational power of an optical model of computation called the C2-CSM. We show that C2-CSM time is no more powerful than sequential space, thus gi...
Abstract. We derive upper and lower bounds for some statistical estimation problems. The upper bounds are established for the Gibbs algorithm. The lower bounds, applicable for all ...
In the well-studied Majority problem, we are given a set of n balls colored with two or more colors, and the goal is to use the minimum number of color comparisons to find a ball ...

Prior algorithms known for exactly solving Max 2-Sat improve upon the trivial upper bound only for very sparse instances. We present new algorithms for exactly solving (in fact, c...
Interval analysis seeks static lower and upper bounds on the values of program variables. These bounds are useful, especially for inferring invariants to prove buffer overflow ch...
