Many publisWsubscribe systems have been built using wireless sensor networks, WSNs, deployedfor real-world environmentaldata collection, securitymonitoring,and object tracking. Ho...
The M-tree is a paged, dynamically balanced metric access method that responds gracefully to the insertion of new objects. Like many spatial access methods, the M-tree's perfo...
Given a set of N multi-dimensional points, we study the computation of -quantiles according to a ranking function F, which is provided by the user at runtime. Specifically, F compu...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
Abstract--Many representation schemes have been proposed to deal with non-manifold and mixed dimensionalities objects. A majority of those models are based on incidence graphs and ...
