Consider a two-party quantum communication protocol for computing some function f : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}n → Z. We show that the first message of P can be compressed to O(k) classi...
Edit distance based string similarity join is a fundamental operator in string databases. Increasingly, many applications in data cleaning, data integration, and scientific compu...
A key problem for "face in the crowd" recognition from existing surveillance cameras in public spaces (such as mass transit centres) is the issue of pose mismatches betwe...
Abstract--In this paper, we consider a many-to-one sensor network where a large number of sensors are deployed to monitor a physical environment. We explore sensor activity managem...
Collaborative applications with energy and low-delay constraints are emerging in various networked embedded systems like wireless sensor networks and multimedia terminals. Conventi...
