Modern scientific applications consume massive volumes of data produced by computer simulations. Such applications require new data management capabilities in order to scale to te...
We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
Distributed stream query services must simultaneously process a large number of complex, continuous queries with stringent performance requirements while utilizing distributed pro...

Geographic web search engines allow users to constrain and order search results in an intuitive manner by focusing a query on a particular geographic region. Geographic search tec...
An efficient data reduction scheme for the simplification of a surface given by a large set X of 3D point-samples is proposed. The data reduction relies on a recursive point remov...
