Database system architectures are undergoing revolutionary changes. Most importantly, algorithms and data are being unified by integrating programming languages with the database ...
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
Process modeling languages such as "Dynamical Grammars" are highly expressive in the processes they model using stochastic and deterministic dynamical systems, and can b...
An important type of spatial queries for sensor networks are K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) queries. Currently, research proposals for KNN query processing is based on index structures,...
Abstract— The paper investigates theoretical issues in applying the universal swarming technique to efficient content distribution. In a swarming session, a file is distributed...
