Abstract— Given a wireless ad hoc network and an endto-end traffic pattern, the power rate function refers to the minimum total power required to support different throughput un...
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
In this paper, we study the problem of the fast selection of video objects, as an aid for the efficient semi-automatic annotation of video programs. In a regular system, the user ...
Robust Bayesian inference is the calculation of posterior probability bounds given perturbations in a probabilistic model. This paper focuses on perturbations that can be expresse...
While caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures due to their ability to hide, in part, the gap between processor speed and memory access times, caches (and partic...
