We show that randomization can lead to significant improvements for a few fundamental problems in distributed tracking. Our basis is the count-tracking problem, where there are k...
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
— We consider how to support a large number of users over a wide-area network whose interests are characterized by range top-k continuous queries. Given an object update, we need...
— Location-based services (LBS) have been widely accepted by mobile users. Many LBS users have direction-aware search requirement that answers must be in a search direction. Howe...
Abstract—We aim to enhance the end-to-end rate of a general dual-hop relay network with multiple channels and finite modulation formats, by jointly optimizing channel pairing, p...
