We study efficient query processing in distributed web search engines with global index organization. The main performance bottleneck in this case is due to the large amount of i...
Database queries, in particular, event-driven continuous queries, are useful for many pervasive computing applications, such as video surveillance. In order to enable these applic...
Existing parallel or remote rendering solutions rely on communicating pixels, OpenGL commands, scene-graph changes or application-specific data. We propose an intermediate soluti...
— In 1982 Ungerboeck presented a set-partitioning design technique for trellis coded modulation (TCM). Although this technique directly assigns constellation points to the branch...
