With the prevalence of car navigation systems, indoor navigation systems are increasingly attracting attention in the indoor research area. However, the available models for indoo...
We pose the question: how do we efficiently evaluate a join operator, distributed over a heterogeneous network? Our objective here is to optimize the delay of output tuples. We di...
The spatial and temporal databases have been studied widely and intensively over years. In this paper, we study how to answer queries of finding the best departure time that minim...
As large-scale sensor networks are being deployed with the objective of collecting quality data to support user queries and decision-making, the role of a scalable query model beco...
We introduce a new method that characterizes typical local image features (e.g., SIFT [9], phase feature [3]) in terms of their distinctiveness, detectability, and robustness to i...
