The energy-distortion function (E(D)) for a network is defined as the minimum total energy required to achieve a target distortion D at the receiver without putting any restricti...
y-filled data block results in a delayed write,Abstract while a modification that fills a block results in an immediate, although asynchronous, write. TheSome file systems can dela...
We introduce the occlusion camera: a non-pinhole camera with 3D distorted rays. Some of the rays sample surfaces that are occluded in the reference view, while the rest sample vis...
Suppose we have a parallel or distributed system whose nodes have limited capacities, such as processing speed, bandwidth, memory, or disk space. How does the performance of the s...
Abstract-- In this paper, we introduce a new skeleton pruning method based on contour partitioning. Any contour partition can be used, but the partitions obtained by Discrete Curve...
