The skyline operator was first proposed in 2001 for retrieving interesting tuples from a dataset. Since then, 100+ skyline-related papers have been published; however, we discove...
We discuss the task of reconstructing the topological map of an environment based on the sequences of locations visited by a mobile agent ? this occurs in systems neuroscience, wh...
As the diversity of sensornet use cases increases, the combinations of environments and applications that will coexist will make custom engineering increasingly impractical. We in...
Score normalization is indispensable in distributed retrieval and fusion or meta-search where merging of result-lists is required. Distributional approaches to score normalization...
Our activities in software engineering typically fall into one of three categories, (1) to invent new phenomena, (2) to understand existing phenomena, and (3) to facilitate inspir...
