Given a query point and a collection of spatial features, a multi-type nearest neighbor (MTNN) query finds the shortest tour for the query point such that only one instance of eac...
The prevalent use of XML highlights the need for a generic, flexible access-control mechanism for XML documents that supports efficient and secure query access, without revealing ...
Instruction combining is an optimization to replace a sequence of instructions with a more efficient instruction yielding the same result in a fewer machine cycles. When we use it...
This paper considers resource allocation algorithms for processing streams of events on computational grids. For example, financial trading applications are executed on large comp...
We present a vision based, adaptive, decision theoretic model of human facial displays in interactions. The model is a partially observable Markov decision process, or POMDP. A POM...
