An emerging tapestry of computations will soon integrate systems around the globe. It will evolve without central control. Its complexity will be vast. We need new ideas, tools an...
Databases are often incomplete because of the presence of disjunctive information, due to con icts, partial knowledge and other reasons. Queries against such databases often ask q...
Estimating geometric structure from uncalibrated images accurately enough for high quality rendering is difficult. We present a method where only coarse geometric structure is trac...
Unsupervised clustering is a powerful technique for understanding multispectral and hyperspectral images, being k-means one of the most used iterative approaches. It is a simple th...
Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and adhoc networks, we study the problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a totally distributed man...
