Enterprises may have multiple database systems spread across the organization for redundancy or for serving different applications. In such systems, query workloads can be distrib...
We propose a novel representation for characterizing image differences using a deformable technique for obtaining pixel-wise correspondences. This representation, which is based o...
Embedded systems are pervasive and frequently used for critical systems with time-dependent functionality. Dwyer et al. have developed qualitative specification patterns to facili...
We present a unifying solution to the problem of fusion of functions, where both the producer function and the consumer function have one accumulating parameter. The key idea in t...
Sensor networks have been an attractive platform for pervasive computing and communication. Due to the lack of physical protection, however, sensor networks are vulnerable to atta...
