While sensor networks are going to be deployed in diverse application specific contexts, one unifying view is to treat them essentially as distributed databases. The simplest mech...
As the diversity of sensornet use cases increases, the combinations of environments and applications that will coexist will make custom engineering increasingly impractical. We in...
Schemas, and more generally metadata specifying structural and semantic constraints, are invaluable in data management. They facilitate conceptual design and enable checking of da...

In this paper, an optimization based learning method is proposed for image retrieval from graph model point of view. Firstly, image retrieval is formulated as a regularized optimi...
In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
