We present a single-database private information retrieval (PIR) scheme with communication complexity O(k+d), where k ≥ log n is a security parameter that depends on the database...
Active object tracking, for example, in surveillance tasks, becomes more and more important these days. Besides the tracking algorithms themselves methodologies have to be develop...
A space efficient wait-free algorithm for implementing a shared buffer for real-time multiprocessor systems is presented in this paper. The commonly used method to implement share...
Traditional information retrieval systems use query words to identify relevant documents. In difficult retrieval tasks, however, one needs access to a wealth of background knowled...
Service-Oriented Computing and Agent Technology are nowadays two of the most active research fields in distributed and open systems. However, when trying to bridge the two worlds,...
