Sensor networks play a central role in applications that monitor variables in geographic areas such as the traffic volume on roads or the temperature in the environment. A key fea...
Lately the advances in centralized database management systems show a trend towards supporting rank-aware query operators, like top-k, that enable users to retrieve only the most ...
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...
We study a problem of mining frequently occurring periodic patterns with a gap requirement from sequences. Given a character sequence S of length L and a pattern P of length l, we...
