Due to the strong increase of processing units available to the end user, expressing parallelism of an algorithm is a major challenge for many researchers. Parallel applications ar...
It is well-known that the time and memory necessary to create a codebook from large training databases have hindered the vector quantization based systems for real applications. T...

Clustering is an important characteristic of most sensor applications. In this paper we define COSMOS, the Cluster-based, heterOgeneouS MOdel for Sensor networks. The model assum...
This paper presents a parallel version for the Propagation Algorithm which belongs to the region growing family of algorithms. The main goal of our implementation is to decrease de...
