Abstract. Approximate string matching is a fundamental and challenging problem in computer science, for which a fast algorithm is highly demanded in many applications including tex...
We present a novel method for interactive retrieval of 3D shapes using physical objects. Our method is based on simple physical 3D interaction with a set of tangible blocks. As th...
We propose a distributed on-demand power-management protocol for collecting data in sensor networks. The protocol aims to reduce power consumption while supporting fluctuating dem...
In this paper, we study the effects of compression on bitmap indexes. The main operations on the bitmaps during query processing are bitwise logical operations such as AND, OR, N...
