The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are being considered as one of the key enabling technologies for future wireless networks. However, the decrease in capacity due to th...
Abstract— People in densely populated environments typically form groups that split and merge. In this paper we track groups of people so as to reflect this formation process an...
—The concept of p-cycle (preconfigured protection cycle) allows fast and efficient span protection in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. To design p-cycles f...
Information-extraction (IE) systems seek to distill semantic relations from naturallanguage text, but most systems use supervised learning of relation-specific examples and are th...
