The question whether a given set of views, defined by queries, can be used to answer another query, arises in several contexts such as query optimization, data integration and se...
This paper presents a new approach for generating configured and flexible middleware systems for integration of heterogeneous and distributed data. The configuration is based on t...
The integration of optimization and simulation has become nearly ubiquitous in practice, as most discrete-event simulation packages now include some type of optimization routine. ...
In this paper we present a novel framework for generic object class detection by integrating Kernel PCA with AdaBoost. The classifier obtained in this way is invariant to changes...
The bag-of-words representation has attracted a lot of attention recently in the field of object recognition. Based on the bag-of-words representation, topic models such as Probab...
