An example of edit distance computation, in which "FAST" is one of strings owned by the server and "FIRST" is a string owned by a querying client.
Abstract:

Comparing two signals is one of the most essential and prevalent tasks in signal processing. A large number of applications fundamentally rely on determining the answers to the following two questions: (1) How should two signals be compared? (2) Given a set of signals and a query signal, which signals are the nearest neighbors of the query signal, i.e., which signals in the database are most similar to the query signal?
