— This paper addresses the topology control problem for large wireless networks that are modelled by an infinite point process on a two-dimensional plane. Topology control is th...
We present an approach to hierarchically encode the topology of functions over triangulated surfaces. We describe the topology of a function by its Morse-Smale complex, a well kno...
It is sometimes argued (as in [6]) that finding meaningful hash collisions might prove difficult. We show that at least one of the arguments involved is wrong, by showing that for...
We introduce a new cryptographic primitive called the blind coupon mechanism (BCM). In effect, the BCM is an authenticated bit commitment scheme, which is AND-homomorphic. It has n...
When short queries and short image annotations are used in text-based cross-language image retrieval, small changes in word usage due to translation errors may decrease the retriev...
