Most database query optimizers use cost models to identify good query execution plans. Inaccuracies in the cost models can cause query optimizers to select poor plans. In this pap...
—This paper studies the problem of understanding noisy and structurally deformed two-dimensional images by means of abstractly defined neural works. First, in the framework of sy...
Context reasoning refers to the process of giving high-level context deduction from a set of low-level contexts. It plays an indispensable role in ubiquitous computing. Most exist...
— In this paper, we analyze indeterminate contact forces in robotic grasping and contact tasks. Previous studies by Omata and Nagata showed that there is a constraint on static f...
Abstract. The translation of information between heterogeneous representations is a long standing issue. With the large spreading of cooperative applications fostered by the advent...
