Diversity and memory are two major mechanisms used in biology to keep the adaptability of organisms in the everchanging environment in nature. These mechanisms can be integrated i...
A constraint satisfiability problem consists of a set of variables, their associated domains (i.e., the set of values the variable can take) and a set of constraints on these vari...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
In this paper, we study the problem of effective keyword search over XML documents. We begin by introducing the notion of Valuable Lowest Common Ancestor (VLCA) to accurately and ...
— Wireless sensor networks offer the potential to span and monitor large geographical areas inexpensively. Sensor network databases like TinyDB [1] are the dominant architectures...
