Compressed bitmap indexes are increasingly used for efficiently querying very large and complex databases. The Word Aligned Hybrid (WAH) bitmap compression scheme is commonly rec...
Abstract. This paper describes the architecture and implementation of a constraint-based framework for rapid prototyping of distributed applications such as virtual simulations, co...
Abstract— Safety is a critical characteristic for robots designed to operate in human environments. This paper presents the concept of hybrid actuation for the development of hum...
We consider the problem of building a P2P-based search engine for massive document collections. We describe a prototype system called ODISSEA (Open DIStributed Search Engine Archi...
In this paper, we present the index-permutation (IP) graph model, and apply it to the systematic development of efficient hierarchical networks. We derive several classes of inter...
