Existing sequence comparison software applications lack automation, abstraction, performance, and flexibility. Users need a new way of studying and applying sequence comparisons i...
We investigate runtime strategies for data-intensive applications that involve generalized reductions on large, distributed datasets. Our set of strategies includes replicated fi...
In this paper, a new two-phase scheme for video similarity detection is proposed. For each video sequence, we extract two kinds of signatures with different granularities: coarse ...
In modern architectures based on Web Services or Cloud Computing, a very large number of user requests arrive concurrently and has to be scheduled for execution constrained by cor...
The emergence of the world-wide-web has led to an increased interest in methods for searching for information. A key characteristic of many of the online document collections is t...
