Quantum Lower Bounds by Polynomials
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...

Some 3CNF properties are hard to test
For a Boolean formula on n variables, the associated property P is the collection of n-bit strings that satisfy . We study the query complexity of tests that distinguish (with hig...

SQCK: A Declarative File System Checker
The lowly state of the art for file system checking and repair does not match what is needed to keep important data available for users. Current file system checkers, such as e2fs...

Progressive and selective merge: computing top-k with ad-hoc ranking functions
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
