A pattern is a finite string of constant and variable symbols. The erasing language generated by a pattern p is the set of all strings that can be obtained by substituting (possib...
In this paper we explore database segmentation in the context of a column-store DBMS targeted at a scientific database. We present a novel hardware- and scheme-oblivious segmentati...
Acontextuality of the mobile phone often leads to a caller’s uncertainty over a callee’s current state, which in turn often hampers mobile collaboration. We are interested in ...
Sampling is a popular way of scaling up machine learning algorithms to large datasets. The question often is how many samples are needed. Adaptive stopping algorithms monitor the ...
In this paper, we present a component-based visual object tracker for mobile platforms. The core of the technique is a component-based descriptor that captures the structure and ap...
