— We propose two contrasting approaches to the scalable distributed control of a swarm of self-assembling miniaturized robots, specifically the formation of chains of a desired ...
Given a record set D and a query score function F, a top-k query returns k records from D, whose values of function F on their attributes are the highest. In this paper, we investi...
We propose in this paper a novel approach to the induction of the structure of Hidden Markov Models. The induced model is seen as a lumped process of a Markov chain. It is construc...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient maintenance of a materialized skyline view in response to skyline removals. While there has been significant progress on skyline quer...
We propose a new technique for quad-dominant remeshing which separates the local regularity requirements from the global alignment requirements by working in two steps. In the fir...
