Database-centric web applications tend to evolve over time. However, there are no comprehensive tools to analyze and present the synopsis of changes for such applications. In this paper, we address the problem of analyzing an evolving application and presenting the synopsis of changes, which can be recursively drilled down in an interactive manner. Specifically, we analyze two versions of an ap...

Early approaches for computing duplicate-sensitive aggregates in sensor networks (e.g., in TAG) have used a tree topology, in order to conserve energy and to avoid double-counting sensor readings. However, a tree topology is not robust against node and communication failures that are common in sensor networks. Recent research has shown that for several duplicate-sensitive aggregates (e.g., Coun...

I present a brief synopsis of six key lessons provided by research on forest ecology and conservation, focusing particularly on the Malaysian state of Sabah in northeastern Borneo. These lessons are generalizable to other contexts, especially for tropical developing nations, where surviving forests are under growing pressures from a range of human activities.

Synopsis This document gives a short overview of the FABEL project.
