— Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join) are fundamental problems in many application domains. Many previous efforts to solve...
A key problem in sensor networks is to decide which sensors to query when, in order to obtain the most useful information (e.g., for performing accurate prediction), subject to co...
In this paper we consider the model of communication where wireless devices can either switch their radios off to save energy (and hence, can neither send nor receive messages), o...
—The main contribution of this paper arises from the development of a new framework, which has its inspiration in the mechanics of human navigation, for solving the problem of Si...
Dynamic Power Management (DPM) techniques are crucial in minimizing the overall energy consumption in real-time embedded systems. The timing constraints of real-time applications ...
