Computation off-loading, i.e., remote execution, has been shown to be effective for extending the computational power and battery life of resource-restricted devices, e.g., hand-h...
Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
Large amounts of remotely sensed data calls for data mining techniques to fully utilize their rich information content. In this paper, we study new means of discovery and summariz...
