A new challenge in scientific computing is to merge existing simulation models to create new higher fidelity combined (often multi-level) models. While this challenge has been a...
Rate-distortion (RD) optimized intra-prediction mode selection can lead to significant improvement in coding efficiency in intraframe encoding. However, it would incur considerabl...
Detecting bursts in data streams is an important and challenging task. Due to the complexity of this task, usually burst detection cannot be formulated using standard query operat...
Health care data from patients in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, Arizona’s Medicaid program, provides a unique opportunity to exploit state-of-the-art data pro...
We consider pragmatic issues in applying constraint-based theories (such as that developed for data exchange) to a variety of problems. We identify disconnects between theoreticia...
