Location models are data structures or knowledge bases used in Ubiquitous Computing for representing and reasoning about spatial relationships between so-called smart objects, i.e....
Security is increasingly becoming an important issue in the design of real-time parallel applications, which are widely used in the industry and academic organizations. However, ex...
This paper introduces three new contributions to the problems of image classification and image search. First, we propose a new image patch quantization algorithm. Other competitiv...
Grid computing accomplishes high throughput computing by using a very large number of unexploited computing resources. We present a parallel method GMRES to solve large sparse lin...
In the case of concept learning from positive and negative examples, it is rarely possible to find a unique discriminating conjunctive rule; in most cases, a disjunctive descripti...
