The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
Several object categorization algorithms use kernel methods over multiple cues, as they offer a principled approach to combine multiple cues, and to obtain state-of-theart perform...
New Internet services and technologies call for higher packet switching capacities in the core network. Thus, a performance bottleneck arises at the backbone routers, as forwarding...
— Many broadband wireless access (BWA) systems, such as IEEE 802.16e, support high-mobility users traveling at vehicular speeds. BWA systems capable of high data rates and low bi...
