The M-tree and its variants have been proved to provide an efficient similarity search in database environments. In order to further improve their performance, in this paper we pro...
We discuss the treatment of initial datatypes and final process types in the wide-spectrum language HasCASL. In particular, we present specifications that illustrate how datatype...
The use of XML has become pervasive. It is used in a range of data storage and data exchange applications. In many cases such XML data is captured from users via forms or transform...
Recognizing humans, estimating their pose and segmenting their body parts are key to high-level image understanding. Because humans are highly articulated, the range of deformation...
An optimizing compiler has a hard time to generate a code which will perform at top speed for an arbitrary data set size. In general, the low level optimization process must take i...
