— This paper presents Pirrus, a replica management system that addresses the problem of providing data availability on a wireless sensor network. Pirrus uses probabilistic failur...
— Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are generally used for harsh environments involving military surveillance, emergency response, and habitat monitoring. Due to severe resource co...
An e cient solution to the wire sizing problem WSP usingthe Elmoredelaymodelisproposed. Two formulations of the problem are put forth: in the rst, the minimum interconnect delay i...
Two key objectives of conversational case-based reasoning (CCBR) systems are (1) eliciting case facts in a manner that minimizes the user’s burden in terms of resources such as t...
We present fast implementations of a hybrid algorithm for reporting box and cube intersections. Our algorithm initially takes a divide-and-conquer approach and switches to simpler...
