The paper makes three points of significance for IR research: (1) The Cranfield paradigm of IR evaluation seems to lose power when one looks at human instead of system performance....
We propose XRPC, a minimal XQuery extension that enables distributed yet efficient querying of heterogeneous XQuery data sources. XRPC enhances the existing concept of XQuery func...
Rising energy costs in large data centers are driving an agenda for energy-efficient computing. In this paper, we focus on the role of database software in affecting, and, ultimat...
One important application of wireless sensor networks is tracking moving objects. The recent progress has made it possible for tiny sensors to have more computing power and storag...
The ease of deployment of battery-powered and mobile systems is pushing the network edge far from powered infrastructures. A primary challenge in building untethered systems is of...
