Skewed distributions appear very often in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional Zipf distribution often fails to model them well. In this paper, we propose a new probability di...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different site...
BitTorrent (BT) in practice is a very efficient method to share data over a network of clients. In this paper we extend the recent work of Arthur and Panigrahy [1] on modelling the...
—We propose a probabilistic formulation of joint silhouette extraction and 3D reconstruction given a series of calibrated 2D images. Instead of segmenting each image separately i...
