Handling streams of positional updates from numerous moving objects has become a challenging task for many monitoring applications. Several algorithms have been recently proposed ...
We present the design of Scoop, a system for indexing and querying stored data in sensor networks. Scoop works by collecting statistics about the rate of queries and distribution ...
This paper presents a novel algorithm for Incremental and General Evaluation of continuous Reverse Nearest neighbor queries (IGERN, for short). The IGERN algorithm is general as it...

We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering and query rewrite (JOQR) followed by parallelization. We focus on t...
This paper presents an algorithm for recovering the globally optimal 2D human figure detection using a loopy graph model. This is computationally challenging because the time comp...
