In this paper we present an initial study on the use of both high and low level MPEG-7 descriptions for video retrieval. A brief survey of current XML indexing techniques shows tha...
In most wireless sensor networks, applications submit their requests as queries and wireless sensor network transmits the requested data to the applications. However, most existing...
— An important class of queries over sensor networks are network-wide aggregation queries. In this work we study a class of aggregation queries which we refer to as aggregate thr...
We show how the database community’s notion of a generic query interface for data aggregation can be applied to ad-hoc networks of sensor devices. As has been noted in the senso...

We prove an upper bound on the convergence rate of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for the important special case when the state space can be aggregated into a smaller ...
