Being able to understand dynamics of human mobility is essential for urban planning and transportation management. Besides geographic space, in this paper, we characterize mobility...
In this work, we present iWalk, a multimedia exploration tool that provides an interactive virtual environment for physically exploring geo-tagged data. This tool is flexible enou...
Abstract— In Evolutionary Robotics (ER), explicitly rewarding for behavioral diversity recently revealed to generate efficient results without recourse to complex fitness funct...
Many information retrieval systems use the inverted file as indexing structure. The inverted file, however, is not suited to supporting incremental updates when new documents are ...
Abstract. The deployment of Share Data Spaces in open, possibly hostile, environments arises the need of protecting the confidentiality of the data space content. Existing approach...

Abstract. Given a family of subsets of an n-element universe, the kcover problem asks whether there are k sets in the family whose union contains the universe; in the k-packing pro...
This paper deals with the monitoring and diagnosis of large discrete-event systems. The problem is to determine, online, all faults and states that explain the flow of observatio...
Many high-level parallel programming languages allow for fine-grained parallelism. As in the popular work-time framework for parallel algorithm design, programs written in such lan...
In this work, we present an adaptive space carving method for scene reconstruction from a set of images obtained from low cost calibrated webcams. Our method uses a combination of...
