Abstract. A review is provided of some database and representation issues involved in the implementation of geographic information systems (GIS). The increasing popularity of web-b...
The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...
Processing large data streams is now a major topic in data management. The data involved can be truly massive, and the required analyses complex. In a stream of sequential events ...
Consider a scenario where one desires to simulate the execution of some graph algorithm on random input graphs of huge, perhaps even exponential size. Sampling and storing these h...
In this paper we propose a lightweight algorithm for constructing multi-resolution data representations for sensor networks. We compute, at each sensor node u, O(log n) aggregates...
