In this paper we present the Threshold Join Algorithm (TJA), which is an efficient TOP-k query processing algorithm for distributed sensor networks. The objective of a top-k query...
We consider a combinatorial generalization of the classical multi-armed bandit problem that is defined as follows. There is a given bipartite graph of M users and N M resources. F...

The gap between the user's information need and query is expanding due to the pervasiveness of Web search. Multimedia question answering is restricted by disjoint infrastruct...
Cross-layer optimization aims at improving the performance of network users operating in a time-varying, error-prone wireless environment. However, current solutions often rely on...
