We consider sensor networks where the sensor nodes are attached on entities that move in a highly dynamic, heterogeneous manner. To capture this mobility diversity we introduce a ...
It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server alloca...
Dealing with verbose (or long) queries poses a new challenge for information retrieval. Selecting a subset of the original query (a "sub-query") has been shown to be an ...
Recent popularization of personal hand-held mobile devices makes it important to characterize the mobility pattern of mobile device users, so as to accurately predict user mobilit...
This paper describes our new algorithm for shot boundary detection and its evaluation. We adopt a 2-stage data fusion approach with SVM technique to decide whether a boundary exis...
