Large-scale data analysis has become increasingly important for many enterprises. Recently, a new distributed computing paradigm, called MapReduce, and its open source implementat...
We propose the k-representative regret minimization query (k-regret) as an operation to support multi-criteria decision making. Like top-k, the k-regret query assumes that users h...

Web technologies have enabled data sharing between sources but also simplified copying (and often publishing without proper attribution). The copying relationships can be complex...
In this chapter, we discuss a widely used fault-tolerant data replication model called virtual synchrony. The model responds to two kinds of needs. First, there is the practical qu...
In this paper we derive the singularity-free dynamic equations of vehiclemanipulator systems using a minimal representation. These systems are normally modeled using Euler angles,...
