A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
In the presence of a heavy-tail noise distribution, regression becomes much more di cult. Traditional robust regression methods assume that the noise distribution is symmetric and...
We consider the problem of distributed classification of multiple observations of the same object that are collected in an ad-hoc network of vision sensors. Assuming that each sen...
