Fingerprint matching is still a challenging problem for reliable person authentication because of the complex distortions involved in two impressions of the same finger. In this p...
The problem of task assignment naturally arises in multiagent multitask systems, where an optimal matching of agents and tasks is sought. This problem is a combinatorial optimizati...
String data is ubiquitous, and its management has taken on particular importance in the past few years. Approximate queries are very important on string data especially for more c...
This paper presents a novel approach that represents an image or a set of images using a nonorthogonal binary subspace (NBS) spanned by boxlike base vectors. These base vectors po...
Previous work has shown that intra-program optimizations, i.e., optimizations performed on individual programs in isolation, can be very effective in reducing disk energy in stre...
