Applications that monitor functions over rapidly and unpredictably changing data, express their needs as continuous queries. Our focus is on a rich class of queries, expressed as p...
Recent research in robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental hotspot fields. This exploration task is formalized by Low, Dolan, and Khosla (2008) in a se...
Wide-area distributed applications are frequently limited by the performance of Internet data transfer. We argue that the principle cause of this effect is the poor interaction be...
Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) has proved to be an efficient coding tool in the design of open-loop scalable video codecs. In this paper we propose a MCTF video codi...
Background: When DNA microarray data are used for gene clustering, genotype/phenotype correlation studies, or tissue classification the signal intensities are usually transformed ...
