Abstract. Many sensor network applications demand tightly-bounded object detection quality. To meet such stringent requirements, we develop three sensing scheduling protocols to gu...
In a distributed system with N processes, time stamps of size N (such as vector clocks) are necessary to accurately track potential causality between events. Plausible clocks are a...
Virtual laboratories can be characterized by their long-lasting, large-scale computations, where a collection of heterogeneous tools is integrated into data processing pipelines. S...
Similarity search in metric spaces is a general paradigm that can be used in several application fields. It can also be effectively exploited in content-based image retrieval syst...
