: Multimedia applications including video data require the smoothing of video playout to prevent potential playout discontinuity.In this paper, we propose a dynamicvideo playout sm...
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
We present a method for sampling feature vectors in large (e.g., 2000 5000 16 bit) images that finds subsets of pixel locations which represent "regions" in the image. Sa...
Current search engines can hardly cope adequately with fuzzy predicates defined by complex preferences. The biggest problem of search engines implemented with standard SQL is that...
Abstract. An automated method of general purpose is introduced for computing a rigorous estimate of a bounded region in Rn whose points satisfy a given property. The method is base...
