Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
Tiny, low-cost sensor devices are expected to be failure-prone and hence in many realistic deployment scenarios for sensor networks these nodes are deployed in higher than necessa...
The development of lightweight sensing and communication protocols is a key requirement for designing resource constrained sensor networks. This paper introduces a set of efficien...
Software developers use testing to gain and maintain confidence in the correctness of a software system. Automated reduction and prioritization techniques attempt to decrease the...
Data generalization is widely used to protect identities and prevent inference of sensitive information during the public release of microdata. The k-anonymity model has been exte...
