E cient automatic model-checking algorithms for real-time systems have been obtained in recent years based on the state-region graph technique of Alur, Courcoubetis and Dill. Howe...
For discrete sets coded by the Freeman chain describing their contour, several linear algorithms have been designed for determining their shape properties. Most of them are based ...
—In this paper, we present a novel method to construct nonbinary irregular LDPC codes whose parity check matrix has only column weights of 2 and t, where t ≥ 3. The constructed...
Whole-History Rating (WHR) is a new method to estimate the time-varying strengths of players involved in paired comparisons. Like many variations of the Elo rating system, the whol...
We consider the problem of storing an ordered dictionary data structure over a distributed set of nodes. In contrast to traditional sequential data structures, distributed data st...
