The paper focuses on developing effective importance sampling algorithms for mixed probabilistic and deterministic graphical models. The use of importance sampling in such graphi...
Complex organizations need to establish access control policies in order to manage access to restricted resources. Role Based Access Control paradigm has been introduced in ’90 ...
In this paper, we introduce a simple, randomized dynamic data structure for storing multidimensional point sets, called a quadtreap. This data structure is a randomized, balanced ...
Abstract--We study the problem of maintaining group communication between m mobile agents, tracked and helped by n static networked sensors. We develop algorithms to maintain a O(l...
