Discovery of a network topology is a challenging task. Available algorithms that rely on simple hop-limited, traceroute-style probes give different performance in terms of the com...
In this paper we report an extensive analysis of the different business models for auctions found on the Web. Three hundred websites randomly selected from the main search engines...
A statistical model to segment clinical magnetic resonance (MR) images in the presence of noise and intensity inhomogeneities is proposed. Inhomogeneities are considered to be mul...
—We propose a novel image segmentation technique using the robust, adaptive least kth order squares (ALKS) estimator which minimizes the kth order statistics of the squared of re...
