This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
: Problem statement: For a sensor network comprising autonomous and self-organizing data sources, efficient similarity-based search for semantic-rich resources (such as video data)...
We propose a scheme to introduce directionality in the Random Walker algorithm for image segmentation. In particular, we extend the optimization framework of this algorithm to com...
In the database community, work on information extraction (IE) has centered on two themes: how to effectively manage IE tasks, and how to manage the uncertainties that arise in th...
