For every string inclusion relation there are two optimization problems: find a longest string included in every string of a given finite language, and find a shortest string in...
Motivated by applications to sensor networks and privacy preserving databases, we consider the problem of functional compression. The objective is to separately compress possibly c...
Abstract. The large and growing impact of memory hierarchies on overall system performance compels designers to investigate innovative techniques to improve memory-system efficienc...
Sketches--data structures for probabilistic, duplicate insensitive counting--are central building blocks of a number of recently proposed network protocols, for example in the con...
Background: Motif patterns of maximal saturation emerged originally in contexts of pattern discovery in biomolecular sequences and have recently proven a valuable notion also in t...
