The popularity of batch-oriented cluster architectures like Hadoop is on the rise. These batch-based systems successfully achieve high degrees of scalability by carefully allocati...
—The importance of introducing distance constraints to data dependencies, such as differential dependencies (DDs) [28], has recently been recognized. The metric distance constrai...
A novel low-computation discriminative feature space is introduced for facial expression recognition capable of robust performance over a rang of image resolutions. Our approach i...
Many Geographic Information System (GIS) applications must handle large geospatial datasets stored in raster representation. Spatial joins over raster data are important queries i...
