This paper presents an efficient content-based version management system for managing XML documents. Our proposed system uses complete deltas for the logical representation of document versions. This logical representation is coupled with an efficient storage policy for version retrieval and insertion. Our storage policy includes the conditional storage of complete document versions (depending ...

A new public key encryption scheme, along with several variants, is proposed and analyzed. The scheme and its variants are quite practical, and are proved secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack under standard intractability assumptions. These appear to be the first publickey encryption schemes in the literature that are simultaneously practical and provably secure. This paper is a sig...

We propose new schemes to introduce error resilience into the compressed video bitstreams for transmission over packet networks. First, we develop an adaptive packetization scheme that prohibits any dependency across packets, for error resilience purposes, while exploiting the dependency within each packet to improve the source coding performance. Secondly, we address a two-layer rate-distortio...

A new angular quadrature type termed Modified Simpson Trapezoidal (MST) is developed based on the conventional Simpson’s 1/3 rule where pattern over polar levels has a trapezoid shape. An adaptive coefficient correction scheme to enable our integrate flux subintervals separated by interior jump irregularities. two-dimensional test problem employed verify discretization error in uncollided S N s...
