We present an effective optimization framework for general SQLlike map-reduce queries, which is based on a novel query algebra and uses a small number of higher-order physical ope...
We present PhysicsBook, a prototype system that enables users to solve physics problems using a sketch-based interface and then animates any diagram used in solving the problem to...
Although technology for communication has evolved tremendously over the past decades, mobility impaired individuals still face many difficulties interacting with communication serv...

Abstract—We study the ubiquitous data collection for mobile users in wireless sensor networks. People with handheld devices can easily interact with the network and collect data....
Geo-temporal criteria are important for filtering, grouping and prioritizing information resources. This presents techniques for extracting semantic geo-temporal information from ...
We present a prototype system, SPIDER, developed at AT&T Labs? Research, which supports flexible string attribute value matching in large databases. We discuss the design prin...
