To allow for an efficient usage of a device in pervasive computing environments, reliable and yet convenient user access is an important requirement. The problem becomes more comp...
A moving region whose location and extend change over time can imply topological changes such as region split and hole formation. To study this phenomenon is useful in many applic...
Performance tuning in modern database systems requires a lot of expertise, is very time consuming and often misdirected. Tuning attempts often lack a methodology that has a holist...
Abstract-- The need for efficient computation of approximate global state lies at the heart of a wide range of problems in distributed systems. Examples include routing in the Inte...
Research has shown promise in the design of large scale common sense probabilistic models to infer human state from environmental sensor data. These models have made use of mined ...
