Abstract--The highly dynamic nature of infrastructureless adhoc networks poses new challenges during resource discovery. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for resource di...
Given a set of N multi-dimensional points, we study the computation of -quantiles according to a ranking function F, which is provided by the user at runtime. Specifically, F compu...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between query scores and data uncertainty ma...

A novel algorithm is proposed to learn pattern similarities for texture image retrieval. Similar patterns in di erent texture classes are grouped into a cluster in the feature spac...
In contrast with the current Web search methods that essentially do document-level ranking and retrieval, we are exploring a new paradigm to enable Web search at the object level....
