We present STAR, a self-tuning algorithm that adaptively sets numeric precision constraints
to accurately and efficiently answer continuous aggregate queries over distributed data …

The availability of small inexpensive sensor elements enables the employment of large
wired or wireless sensor networks for feeding control systems. Unfortunately, the need to …

We focus on large-scale and dense deeply embedded systems where, due to the large
amount of information generated by all nodes, even simple aggregate computations such as …

Data approximation is a popular means to support energy-efficient query processing in
sensor networks. Conventional data approximation methods require users to specify fixed …

Wireless sensor networks are emerging as a convenient mechanism to constantly monitor
the physical world. The volume of information in such networks can be extremely large. And …

We have recently seen a surge of research focusing on the processing of graph data. The
emerging field of signal processing on graphs focuses on the extension of classical discrete …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are likely to be more prevalent as their cost-effectiveness
improves. The spectrum of applications for WSNs spans multiple domains. In environmental …

The traditional query processing approach, by which queries are executed exactly according
to a query execution plan selected before query execution starts, breaks down in …

As wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming ever more prevalent, the runtime
characteristics of these networks are becoming an increasing issue. Commonly, external …
