Sharpness: A Tight Condition for Scalability
: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...

A Novel Approach for Text Detection in Images Using Structural Features
We propose a novel approach for finding text in images by using ridges at several scales. A text string is modelled by a ridge at a coarse scale representing its center line and n...

Proactive replication in distributed storage systems using machine availability estimation
Distributed storage systems provide data availability by means of redundancy. To assure a given level of availability in case of node failures, new redundant fragments need to be ...
