Range queries, retrieving all keys within a given range, is an important add-on for Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), as they rely only on exact key matching lookup. In this paper we...
This work describes a distributed framework for routing path optimization in Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks that loosely mimics the foraging behaviour of ants observed in na...
It is well-known that, given a probability distribution over n characters, in the worst case it takes (n log n) bits to store a prefix code with minimum expected codeword length. H...
Gabor filters are biologically motivated convolution kernels that have been widely used in the field of computer vision and, specially, in face recognition during the last decad...
In many modern applications such as biometric identification systems, sensor networks, medical imaging, geology, and multimedia databases, the data objects are not described exact...
