For the task of near-duplicate document detection, comparison approaches based on bag-of-words used in information retrieval community are not sufficiently accurate. This work presents novel approach when instance-level ...

An understanding of Input/Output data access patterns of applications is useful in several situations. First, gaining an insight into what applications are doing with their data at a semantic level helps in designing ...

Message Sequence Charts are a visual representation of the system specification which shows how all the participating processes are interacting with each other. Message Sequence Graphs provide modularity by easily allowing ...

Classification algorithms have been widely used in many application domains. Most of these domains deal with massive collection of data and hence demand classification algorithms that scale well with the size of the data ...

In this thesis, we investigate in detail, certain important problems in cryptography and coding theory. In the first part of this thesis, we discuss the number field sieve and compare the two ways in which the sieving ...
