Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
Abstract. This paper describes an investigation of data fusion techniques for spoken document retrieval. The effectiveness of retrievals solely based on the outputs from automatic...
Abstract. We study the interval subset sum problem (ISSP), a generalization of the classic subset-sum problem, where given a set of intervals, the goal is to choose a set of intege...
Multicast routing uses a structure, either a tree or a mesh, to connect the receivers to the source, thus saving the bandwidth. How to share the cost among the receivers in a certa...
Abstract. The heavy-tailed phenomenon that characterises the runtime distributions of backtrack search procedures has received considerable attention over the past few years. Some ...
