In case the objective function to be minimized is not known analytically and no assumption can be made about the single extremum, global optimization (GO) methods must be used. Pap...
Many computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms are very sensitive to the choice of an appropriate distance metric. Some recent research sought to address a variant of the...
The main memory management has been a critical issue to provide high performance in web cluster systems. To overcome the speed gap between processors and disks, many prefetch sche...
As clock frequency and die area increase, achieving energy efficiency, while distributing a low skew, global clock signal becomes increasingly difficult. Challenges imposed by dee...
Clustering by document concepts is a powerful way of retrieving information from a large number of documents. This task in general does not make any assumption on the data distrib...
