The indexing of complex data and similarity search plays an important role in many application areas. Traditional centralized index structure can not scale with the rapid prolifer...
— For a wide variety of sensor network environments, location information is unavailable or expensive to obtain. We propose a location-free, lightweight, distributed, and data-ce...
The hybrid redundancy structure found at the cellular level of higher animals provides complex organism with the three key features of a reliability-engineered system: fault toler...
— The recent progress in robot mapping (or SLAM) algorithms has focused on estimating either point features (such as landmarks) or grid-based representations. Both of these repre...
New biomedical technologies need to be integrated for research on complex diseases. It is necessary to combine and analyze information coming from different sources: genetic-molecu...
