Model-Driven Data Acquisition in Sensor Networks
Declarative queries are proving to be an attractive paradigm for interacting with networks of wireless sensors. The metaphor that “the sensornet is a database” is problematic,...

NetCube: A Scalable Tool for Fast Data Mining and Compression
We propose an novel method of computing and storing DataCubes. Our idea is to use Bayesian Networks, which can generate approximate counts for any query combination of attribute v...

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Constructing Approximate Shortest Path Maps in Three Dimensions
We present a new technique for constructing a data-structure that approximates shortest path maps in IRd . By applying this technique, we get the following two results on approxim...

Approximating the Stretch Factor of Euclidean Graphs
There are several results available in the literature dealing with efficient construction of t-spanners for a given set S of n points in Rd. t-spanners are Euclidean graphs in whic...
