With the popularization of GPS-enabled devices there is an increasing interest for location-based queries. In this context, one interesting problem is processing top-k spatial key...
While improving raw performance is of primary interest to most users of high-performance computers, energy consumption also is a critical concern. Some microprocessors allow volta...
Recent research in multi-robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental fields, which are typically modeled using the Gaussian process (GP). Existing informa...
In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for computing near optimal schedules for task graph problems. In contrast to conventional approaches for solving those scheduling proble...
