Statistics play a key role in influencing the quality of plans chosen by a database query optimizer. In this paper, we identify the statistics that are essential for an optimizer....
In this work, we present a combined approach to tracking and reconstruction. An implicit feedback of 3d information to the tracking process is achieved by optimizing a single error...
We propose heuristics for visibility coverage of a polygon with the fewest point guards. This optimal coverage problem, often called the “art gallery problem”, is known to be ...
An experimental adaptive filtering system, built on the Okapi search engine, is described. In addition to the regular text retrieval functions, the system requires a complex set o...
Abstract—Higher organisms are able to respond to continuously changing external conditions by transducing cellular signals into specific regulatory programs, which control gene ...
