Semi-join reducers were introduced in the late seventies as a means to reduce the communication costs of distributed database systems. Subsequent work in the eighties showed, howe...

Many emerging environments are increasingly facing the problem where the requirements of applications easily outstrip the system resources. This is particularly acute in the World...
Clustering, in data mining, is useful to discover distribution patterns in the underlying data. Clustering algorithms usually employ a distance metric based (e.g., euclidean) simi...
?Past R-tree studies have focused on the number of nodes visited as a metric of query performance. Since database systems usually include a buffering mechanism, we propose that the...
Over the past ten years, face detection has been thoroughly studied in computer vision research for its interesting applications. However, all of the state-of-the-art statistical ...
