We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Abstract Current, data-driven applications have become more dynamic in nature, with the need to respond to events generated from distributed sources or to react to information extr...
We have developed a new semi-automatic neural network based method to detect blotches with low false alarm rate on archive films. Blotches can be modeled as temporal intensity disc...
This paper presents a new approach to texture defect detection based on a set of optimised filters. Each filter is applied to one wavelet sub-band and its size and shape are tuned ...
This paper describes a fault detection mechanism that uses the error codes returned by the stream sockets to locate process failures. Since these errors are generated automaticall...
