Given a dataset P and a preference function f, a top-k query retrieves the k tuples in P with the highest scores according to f. Even though the problem is well-studied in convent...
Real-time surveillance systems, network and telecommunication systems, and other dynamic processes often generate tremendous (potentially infinite) volume of stream data. Effectiv...

Tiny embedded systems have not been an ideal outfit for high performance computing due to their constrained resources. Limitations in processing power, battery life, communication ...
Computation off-loading, i.e., remote execution, has been shown to be effective for extending the computational power and battery life of resource-restricted devices, e.g., hand-h...
Sensor networks are expected to evolve into long-lived, autonomous networked systems whose main mission is to provide in-situ users ? called actors ? with real-time information in...
