Oblivious transfer is a fundamental primitive in cryptography. While perfect information theoretic security is impossible, quantum oblivious transfer protocols can limit the disho...
Next-generation high throughput sequencing instruments are capable of generating hundreds of millions of reads in a single run. Mapping those reads to a reference genome is an ext...
The management of tasks is an essential requirement in most real-time and embedded systems, but invariably leads to unwanted CPU overheads. This paper is concerned with task manage...
As knowledge bases move into the landscape of larger ontologies and have terabytes of related data, we must work on optimizing the performance of our tools. We are easily tempted t...
Advancement in mobile computing technologies has prompted strong needs for database systems that can be used in small devices such as sensors, cellular phones, PDAs, car navigator...
