This paper describes a successful but challenging application of data mining in the railway industry. The objective is to optimize maintenance and operation of trains through prog...
We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable agents, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually end...
Wide-area distribution raises significant performance problems for traditional query processing techniques as data access becomes less predictable due to link congestion, load imb...
