The LEACH algorithm for selecting cluster heads is a probabilistic method which produces clusters with a large variation of link distances and uneven energy consumption during the...
In some retrieval situations, a system must search across multiple collections. This task, referred to as federated search, occurs for example when searching a distributed index o...
The development of lightweight sensing and communication protocols is a key requirement for designing resource constrained sensor networks. This paper introduces a set of efficien...
Traditional routing indices in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are mainly designed for document retrieval applications and maintain aggregated one-dimensional values representing the ...
We study the problem of automatically assigning appropriate music pieces to a picture or, in general, series of pictures. This task, commonly referred to as soundtrack suggestion,...
