Several formalisms have been proposed for qualitative reasoning about regions and their topological relations in space. These formalisms, based on pairwise relations, do not allow...
We address the issue of detecting automatically occurrences of high level patterns in audiovisual documents. These patterns correspond to recurring sequences of shots, which are co...
Synchronous Dataflow, a subset of dataflow, has proven to be a good match for specifying DSP programs. Because of the limited amount of memory in embedded DSPs, a key problem duri...
In this communication Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms, are applied to the graph partitioning problem. These techniques mimic processes in statistical mechanics and biol...
This paper shows the power of randomization in designing e cient parallel algorithms for the problems of routing and PRAM emulation. We show that with randomization techniques opti...
