We present MOCHA, a new self-extensible database middleware system designed to interconnect distributed data sources. MOCHA is designed to scale to large environments and is based...
We consider the problem of distributed classification of multiple observations of the same object that are collected in an ad-hoc network of vision sensors. Assuming that each sen...
In high-dimensional and complex metric spaces, determining the nearest neighbor (NN) of a query object ? can be a very expensive task, because of the poor partitioning operated by...
Creating comprehensive simulation models can be expensive and time consuming. This paper discusses our efforts to develop a general methodology that will allow users to quickly an...
