We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is...

We present a simple but powerful algorithm for optimizing the usage of hardware occlusion queries in arbitrary complex scenes. Our method minimizes the number of issued queries an...
Abstract. In this paper we initiate an exploration of relationships between “preference elicitation”, a learning-style problem that arises in combinatorial auctions, and the pr...

In this paper, we study the problem of indexing multidimensional data in the P2P networks based on distributed hash tables (DHTs). We identify several design issues and propose a ...
One important application of wireless sensor networks is tracking moving objects. The recent progress has made it possible for tiny sensors to have more computing power and storag...
