In recent years, some computer vision algorithms such as SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) have been employed in image similarity match to perform image-based search applic...
We present a hierarchical distributed communication and control architecture for Smart Grids. The proposed topology consists of multiple layers to allow for robust and flexible d...
Database appliances offer fully integrated hardware, storage, operating system, database, and related software in a single package. Database appliances have a relatively long hist...
Data integration is a significant challenge: relevant data objects are split across multiple information sources, and often owned by different organizations. The sources represent...
Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
