This article presents a new adaptive framework for locally parallel texture modeling. Oscillating patterns are modeled with functionals that constrain the local Fourier decompositi...
Estimating the result size of complex queries that involve selection on multiple attributes and the join of several relations is a difficult but fundamental task in database query...
In previous techniques of bit rate reduction transcoding, reusing the mode of the input MB is widely adopted. However, directly re-using the mode of input MB will cause additional ...
Reservoir sampling is a well-known technique for random sampling over data streams. In many streaming applications, however, an input stream may be naturally heterogeneous, i.e., c...
A maximal independent set on a graph is an inclusion-maximal set of mutually non-adjacent nodes. This basic symmetry breaking structure is vital for many distributed algorithms, w...
