Sensor networks present a number of novel programming challenges for application developers. Their inherent limitations of computational power, communication bandwidth, and energy...
The notion that certain procedures are atomic is a fundamental correctness property of many multithreaded software systems. A procedure is atomic if for every execution there is a...
Most current image retrieval systems and commercial search engines use mainly text annotations to index and retrieve WWW images. This research explores the use of machine learning...
