This paper describes an efficient scheme for the dynamic maintenance of the set of maxima of a 2-d set of points. Using the fact that the maxima can be stored in a staircase struct...
Many practically relevant polymers undergoing desorption change from the rubbery (saturated) to the glassy (nearly dry) state. The dynamics of such systems cannot be described by t...
To use multiple memory banks in parallel is a nature approach to boost the performance of flash-memory storage systems. However, realistic data-access localities unevenly load eac...
We address the problem of restricting root’s ability to change arbitrary files on disk, in order to prevent abuse on most current desktop operating systems. The approach first...
During code review tasks, comparing two versions of a hardware design description using existing program differencing tools such as diff is inherently limited because existing p...
