— One of the central problems for data quality is inconsistency detection. Given a database D and a set Σ of dependencies as data quality rules, we want to identify tuples in D ...
The management of moving objects has been intensively studied in the recent years. A wide and increasing range of database applications has to deal with spatial objects whose posi...
Most page segmentation algorithms have userspecifiable free parameters. However, algorithm designers typically do not provide a quantitative/rigorous method for choosing values fo...
Electronic textiles, known as computational fabrics, offer an emerging method for constructing wearable and large area applications. Because e-textiles are battery-driven and faul...
In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
