In this work, we propose a new grid conversion algorithm between the hexagonal lattice and the orthogonal (a.k.a. Cartesian) lattice. The conversion process, named H2O, is easy to...
The emergence of third-generation (3G) mobile networks offers new opportunities for the effective delivery of data with rich content including multimedia messaging and video-strea...
Abstract— Prefetching is a widely used technique in modern data storage systems. We study the most widely used class of prefetching algorithms known as sequential prefetching. Th...
Conventional wide-area video surveillance systems use a network of fixed cameras positioned close to locations of interest. We describe an alternative and flexible approach to w...
This paper presents a framework for building and continuously maintaining spatio-temporal histograms (ST-Histograms, for short). ST-Histograms are used for selectivity estimation o...
