This talk focuses on the issue of ``loss of control'' that results when users outsource data and computation to the clouds. While loss of control has multiple manifestations, we focus on the data privacy and confidentiality implications when cloud providers are untrusted. Instead of following the well-studied (but still unsolved) path of encrypting data when outsourcing and computing on the enc...

Ariyawansa and Zhu [5] have recently proposed a new class of optimization problems termed stochastic semidefinite programs (SSDP’s). SSDP’s may be viewed as an extension of two-stage stochastic (linear) programs with recourse (SLP’s). Zhao [25] has derived a decomposition algorithm for SLP’s based on a logarithmic barrier and proved its polynomial complexity. Mehrotra and Özevin [17] have exten...

Mucor minutus (Baijal & B.S. Mehrotra) Schipper is described for the first time from northeastern Brazil. The specimen was isolated soil of Florestas do Jussará, an upland forest fragment in Pernambuco state. In Brazil, M. has previously been only state São Paulo Atlantic Forest. occurrence Jussará presented and discussed, a detailed description illustra...

To what extent does cultural distance interfere with or limit literary experience? What kind of intimacy is needed to make a text into work? This essay seeks answer these questions by focusing on the writings Arvind Krishna Mehrotra. In doing so, it suggests that challenges may be most acute when dealing texts from homo-linguistic environments, and we might overcome undertaking world criticism ...

In the course of analyzing a wide variety of knowledge-based systems, Pragati has found many types of cluster-based relationships that can enable analysts and developers to comprehend, maintain, and reuse such systems more effectively. Pragati’s cluster-based analysis of numerous knowledge-based systems through its Multi-ViewPoint Clustering Analysis (MVP-CA) Tool [Mehrotra & Bobrovnikoff 2002]...

The best method known for determining lower bounds on the vertex coloring number of a graph is the linear-programming column-generation technique, where variables correspond to stable sets, first employed by Mehrotra and Trick in 1996. We present an implementation of the method that provides numerically-safe results, independent of the floating-point accuracy of linear-programming software. Our...
