This paper addresses the problem of fast retrieval of data from XML documents by providing a labeling schema that can easily handle simple as well as complex XPATH queries and als...
In this paper we propose a new bottom-up query evaluation method for stratified deductive databases based on the Magic Set approach. As the Magic Sets rewriting may lead to unstra...
We propose a hybrid model to alleviate the notorious problem of premature battery depletion in sensor networks: in a first stage, simple sensors are deployed over an area of inter...
This paper introduces a semi-supervised distance metric learning algorithm which uses pair-wise equivalence (similarity and dissimilarity) constraints to improve the original dist...
We consider a real-world problem arising in a warehouse for spare parts. Items ordered by customers shall be collected and for this purpose our task is to determine efficient picku...
