Caching techniques have been used to improve the performance gap of storage hierarchies in computing systems. In data intensive applications that access large data files over wid...
—Hybrid P2P systems rely on the assumption that sufficient objects exist nearby in order to make the unstructured search component efficient. This availability depends on the o...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
In high-dimensional query processing, the optimization of the logical page-size of index structures is an important research issue. Even very simple query processing techniques suc...
This paper addresses the problem of human motion encoding for real-time animation in interactive environments. Classically, a motion is stored as a sequence of body postures encod...
