Abstract-- Recent work has demonstrated that readings provided by commodity sensor nodes are often of poor quality. In order to provide a valuable sensory infrastructure for monito...
We develop a new algorithm for isosurface extraction and view-dependent filtering from large time-varying fields, by using a novel Persistent Time-Octree (PTOT) indexing structure....
We consider the problem of efficiently sampling Web search engine query results. In turn, using a small random sample instead of the full set of results leads to efficient approxi...
