We consider several private database query problems. The starting point of this work is the element rank problem: the server holds a database of n integers, and the user an integer...
— We study the motion planning problem for planar star-shaped manipulators. These manipulators are formed by joining k “legs” to a common point (like the thorax of an insect)...
In this paper we show how the classical job-shop scheduling problem can be modeled as a special class of acyclic timed automata. Finding an optimal schedule corresponds, then, to n...
Abstract—The future Internet is expected to support applications with quality of service (QoS) requirements. For this end several mechanisms are suggested in the IETF to support ...
We present a new algorithm that reduces the space complexity of heuristic search. It is most effective for problem spaces that grow polynomially with problem size, but contain lar...
