In this paper we present a generic late-join service for distributed interactive media, i.e., networked media which involve user interactions. Examples for distributed interactive...
Query by key frame or video example is a convenient and often effective way to search in video database. This paper proposes a new approach to support such searches. The main cont...

The simulation of wide area computer networks is one area where the benefits of parallel simulation have been clearly demonstrated. Here we present a description of a system that...
An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
Distributed-memory programs are often written using a global address space: any process can name any memory location on any processor. Some languages completely hide the distincti...
