Information retrieval algorithms leverage various collection statistics to improve performance. Because these statistics are often computed on a relatively small evaluation corpus...
State estimation consists of updating an agent’s belief given executed actions and observed evidence to date. In single agent environments, the state estimation can be formalize...
We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
The retail store environment is a challenging application area for Pervasive Computing technologies. It has demanding base conditions due to the number and complexity of the interd...
