The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Data security involves implementing strategies to safeguard digital information against unauthorized disclosure and modification across computing and communication infrastructures. Given the ...

Suppose we have the following knowledge base: (Parent Tom Bob) (Parent Pam Bob) (Parent Tom Liz) (Parent Bob Ann) (Parent Bob Pat) (Parent Pat Jim) (Parent Jim Lil) How to implement transitive closure ...

Rather than copying a one‐day network 1,000 times into a huge “meta‐graph,” in case of graphs with temporality relationships between variables, you can use a technique called slicing: Run belief ...

ABSTRACT: The excessive computational burden encountered in power market analysis has necessitated the need for obtaining reduced equivalent networks that preserve flows along certain selected lines ...

As Eid approaches, an air of uncertainty looms over thousands of workers who have lost their jobs due to widespread factory closures and layoffs following last year’s political upheaval. Trade union ...

Abstract: We present a new BSP/CGM parallel algorithm for the transitive closure problem. Our algorithm uses O(n/sup 3//p/spl alpha/) local computation time with O(p//spl alpha/) communication rounds, ...

Graph theory is an integral component of algorithm design that underlies sparse matrices, relational databases, and networks. Improving the performance of graph algorithms has direct implications to ...
