Extracting data from Web pages using wrappers is a fundamental problem arising in a large variety of applications of vast practical interests. There are two main issues relevant t...
Humans tend to group together related properties in order to understand complex phenomena. When modeling large problems with limited representational resources, it is important to...
—Chemical–mechanical polishing (CMP) is an enabling technique used in deep-submicrometer VLSI manufacturing to achieve long range oxide planarization. Post-CMP oxide topography...
We propose a new R-tree structure that outperforms all the older ones. The heart of the idea is to facilitate the deferred splitting approach in R-trees. This is done by proposing...
Multimedia applications have unique characteristics that can be leveraged to design energy-efficient loss recovery mechanisms. Given their loss tolerance and strict timing requirem...
