We present a self-stabilizing algorithm that ensures in finite time the gathering of two robots in the non-rigid ASYNC model. To circumvent established impossibility results, [...]

Every person is unique and complex.   But can we predict anything about how large groups of people will behave?  In the 1950s the writer [...]

Static and dynamic clustering algorithms are a fundamental tool in any machine learning library. Most of the efforts in developing dynamic machine learning and data mining algorithms [...]

In this presentation, we would like to focus on two well known NP-Hard problems and then provide a combinatorial optimization view  before proposing new and [...]

Accurately monitoring application performance is becoming more important for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), as users increasingly expect their networks to consistently deliver acceptable application quality. [...]

Hardening data protection using multiple methods rather than solely encryption is of paramount importance when considering continuous and powerful attacks to spy private and confidential information. Our research focuses on reinforcing data protection using a combination of data fragmentation, encryption, and dispersion. Each operation participates in the increasing of the protection level. We aim at minimizing the additional processing costs due to data fragmentation and dispersion.
