In an outsourced database framework, clients place data management with specialized service providers. Of essential concern in such frameworks is data privacy. Potential clients ar...
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected graph having non-negative edge weights. An estimate ˆδ(u, v) of the actual distance δ(u, v) between u, v ∈ V is said to be of stretch t...
K¨orner and Malvenuto asked whether one can find n n/2 linear orderings (i.e., permutations) of the first n natural numbers such that any pair of them places two consecutive int...
Proximal bundle methods have been shown to be highly successful optimization methods for unconstrained convex problems with discontinuous first derivatives. This naturally leads ...
In this paper, we present a series of programming projects based on the Linux kernel for students in a senior-level undergraduate operating systems course. The projects we describ...
