An Easy-to-Deploy Temporal Thermographic Data Collection and Analysis System
Published Thursday, May 3, 2018Buildings in the United States consume a significant amount of energy and release an increasing amount of CO2. Accordingly, tools and techniques have been developed to determine where energy efficiency in buildings can be improved. One such technique is thermography, where auditors determine energy inefficiency using a thermal camera that shows...

Bistro: A System for Building Scalable Wide-Area Upload Applications
Published Wednesday, May 23, 2001Tremendous increases in network traffic are a major obstacle to achieving scalability in the Internet and other large networks. At the application layer, hot spots are usually caused by either (a) high demand for some data or (b) high demand for a certain service. Hot spots in download applications mostly result from a demand for popular data...

Conservation Dependencies
Published Wednesday, October 3, 2012Many constraints and rules have been used to analyze data quality: functional, inclusion and sequential dependencies, association rules, etc. Additionally, a broad class of tools not covered by existing constraints may be identified, where a “conservation law” exists between related quantities. Conservation laws, however, are obeyed only to...

IMPACT Agent Development System
Published Wednesday, October 11, 2000An intelligent agent is a program that gathers information or performs other services without a user's immediate presence and on a regular schedule. Typically, an agent program, using pre-set parameters, searches and gathers information of interest on a network, and presents it to the user on a periodic basis. For example, agents have been...

Indexing RDF and Temporal RDF Databases
Published Sunday, May 17, 2009Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a widely used World Wide Web Consortium standard. However, the indexing of large volumes of data still poses many difficulties, with methods of indexing still being developed. A certain type of RDF query, a graph based query, necessitates the traversal of edges in the graph determined by an RDF database...
