— The recent advances in wireless sensor technologies (e.g., Mica, Telos motes) enable the economic deployment of lightweight sensors for capturing data from their surrounding en...
A data warehouse DW can be seen as a set of materialized views de ned over remote base relations. When a query is posed, it is evaluated locally, using the materialized views, wi...
Traditional location-based services recommend nearest objects to the user by considering their spatial proximity. However, an object not only has its distance but also has its dir...
Data stream management systems need to control their resources adaptively since stream characteristics and query workload may vary over time. In this paper we investigate an approa...
We study the complexity of approximating the smallest eigenvalue of −∆ + q with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the d-dimensional unit cube. Here ∆ is the Laplacian, and th...
