An important means of allowing non-expert end-users to pose ad hoc queries — whether over single databases or data integration systems — is through keyword search. Given a set...
In geometric computer vision, the structure from motion (SfM) problem can be formulated as a optimization problem with a rank constraint. It is well known that the trace norm of a...
Orphan requests are a significant problem for multi-tier distributed systems since they adversely impact system correctness by violating the exactly-once semantics of application...
— Algorithmic problem reduction is a fundamental approach to problem solving in many fields, including robotics. To solve a problem using this scheme, we must reduce the problem...
Disaster-related research in human-centered computing has typically focused on the shorter-term, emergency period of a disaster event, whereas effects of some crises are longterm,...
