We consider the setting of a device that obtains it energy from a battery and some regenerative source such as a solar cell. We consider the speed scaling problem of scheduling a c...
In this paper we discuss a new type of query in Spatial Databases, called the Trip Planning Query (TPQ). Given a set of points of interest P in space, where each point belongs to ...
Most image segmentation algorithms optimize some mathematical similarity criterion derived from several low-level image features. One possible way of combining different types of f...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
Recently Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has received a lot of attentions in information retrieval, computer vision and pattern recognition. NMF aims to find two non-nega...
