The identification and processing of similarities in the data play a key role in multiple application scenarios. Several types of similarity-aware operations have been studied in ...
This paper presents a set of architectures for the composition of ubiquitous computing applications. It describes research that is being carried out in "extrovert-Gadgets&quo...
We consider the problem of efficiently learning optimal control policies and value functions over large state spaces in an online setting in which estimates must be available afte...
The early 1980s saw the development of some rather sophisticated distributed systems. These were not merely networked file systems: rather, using remote procedure calls, hierarchi...
Multimedia applications usually have throughput constraints. An implementation must meet these constraints, while it minimizes resource usage and energy consumption. The compute i...
