Large-scale information integration, and in particular, search on the World Wide Web, is pushing the limits on the combination of structured data and unstructured data. By its ver...
Design patterns present good solutions to frequently occurring problems in object-oriented software design. Thus their correct application in a system’s design may significantl...
When integrating geo-spatial datasets, a join algorithm is used for finding sets of corresponding objects (i.e., objects that represent the same real-world entity). Algorithms for...
Abstract. The need for location-based services has motivated an important research effort in the efficient processing of location-dependent queries. Most of the existing approaches...
Existing techniques for autonomous indoor navigation are often environment-specific and thus limited in terms of their applicability. In this paper, we take a fundamentally differ...
