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...
Most face recognition algorithms use a “distancebased” approach: gallery and probe images are projected into a low dimensional feature space and decisions about matching are b...
Declarative queries are proving to be an attractive paradigm for interacting with networks of wireless sensors. The metaphor that “the sensornet is a database” is problematic,...

We propose a new method for rapid 3D object indexing that combines feature-based methods with coarse alignment-based matching techniques. Our approach achieves a sublinear complexi...

Scheduling data processing workflows (dataflows) on the cloud is a very complex and challenging task. It is essentially an optimization problem, very similar to query optimizati...
