By embedding sensors in mobile devices, it is possible to exploit the ubiquitous presence of these devices to construct applications for large-scale sensing and monitoring of envi...
Partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) is commonly used to model a stochastic environment with unobservable states for supporting optimal decision making. Computing ...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...
