— Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join) are fundamental problems in many application domains. Many previous efforts to solve...
We present practical algorithms for accelerating geometric queries on models made of NURBS surfaces using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We provide a generalized f...
Many scientific applications generate large spatiotemporal datasets. A common way of exploring these datasets is to identify and track regions of interest. Usually these regions ...

This paper shows the suitability of a "self-maintaining" approach to Tertiary Disk, a large-scale disk array system built from commodity components. Instead of incurring...
Recent advance in scalable video coding (SVC) makes it possible for users to receive the same video with different qualities. To adopt SVC in P2P streaming, two key design questio...
