Background: MapReduce is a parallel framework that has been used effectively to design largescale parallel applications for large computing clusters. In this paper, we evaluate th...
Sensor deployment is a critical issue, as it affects the cost and detection capabilities of a wireless sensor network. Although many previous efforts have addressed this issue, mo...
Abstract. This work describes an evolutionary approach to texture segmentation, a long-standing and important problem in computer vision. The difficulty of the problem can be relat...
Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
