We present the queueing analysis of a degenerate buffer having access to a single server. This system cannot realize any given delay, but only values that are an integer multiple ...
Abstract. This paper extends a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes: Local Optima Networks (LON), to incorporate a first-improvement (greedyascent) hill-climbing a...
Text detection plays a vital role in retrieving and browsing video data efficiently and accurately. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting both graphics and scene text i...

The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
Quantizers for probabilistic sources are usually optimized for mean-squared error. In many applications, maintaining low relative error is a more suitable objective. This measure ...
