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...
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes, into “approximately convex” pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex components of ...
In this paper we investigate the retrieval of semantic events that occur in broadcast sports footage. We do so by considering the spatio-temporal behaviour of an object in the foot...
This paper describes a continuous estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) to solve decomposable, real-valued optimization problems quickly, accurately, and reliably. This is the...

Scenarios and goals are effective and popular techniques for requirements definition. Validation is essential in order to ensure that they represent what stakeholders actually wan...
