For planar graphs, counting the number of perfect matchings (and hence determining whether there exists a perfect matching) can be done in NC [4, 10]. For planar bipartite graphs, ...
Given two or more parties possessing large, confidential datasets, we consider the problem of securely computing the kth -ranked element of the union of the datasets, e.g. the med...
Abstract. In this paper we analyze two proteomic pattern datasets containing measurements from ovarian and prostate cancer samples. In particular, a linear and a quadratic support ...
Textual CBR systems solve problems by reusing experiences that are in textual form. Knowledge-rich comparison of textual cases remains an important challenge for these systems. How...
Abstract. When dealing with distributed systems, one of the most important problems that has to be addressed is concurrency. Distributed systems are inherently concurrent, distribu...
