We examine the problem of evaluating selection queries over imprecisely represented objects. Such objects are used either because they are much smaller in size than the precise on...
In many modern applications such as biometric identification systems, sensor networks, medical imaging, geology, and multimedia databases, the data objects are not described exact...
We study query scheduling in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with a focus on two important metrics: Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Data (QoD). The motivation comes from o...
Energy management in sensor networks is crucial to prolong the network lifetime. Though existing sleep scheduling algorithms save energy, they lead to a large increase in end-to-e...
We consider the problem of optimizing the number of replicas for event information in wireless sensor networks, when queries are disseminated using expanding rings. We obtain clos...
