In this paper we unify two supposedly distinct tasks in multimedia retrieval. One task involves answering queries with a few examples. The other involves learning models for seman...
We consider the problem of estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for processing range and k-nearest neighbors queries over metric spaces. Unlike the specific case ...
Large-scale distributed computing systems such as grids are serving a growing number of scientists. These environments bring about not only the advantages of an economy of scale, ...
