This paper presents a novel and complementary technique to optimize an XPath query by minimizing its wildcard steps. Our approach is based on using a general composite axis called...
This paper presents a method for tuning parameters under a fixed time constraint for a general binocular stereo-vision algorithm. A major difficulty in stereo vision, as well as i...
Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
In this paper, we study the evaluation of skyline queries with partially-ordered attributes. Because such attributes lack a total ordering, traditional index-based evaluation algo...
Pervasive computing introduces data management requirements that must be tackled in a growingvariety of lightweight computing devices. Personal folders on chip, networks of sensor...
