Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
Large-scale cluster-based Internet services often host partitioned datasets to provide incremental scalability. The aggregation of results produced from multiple partitions is a f...
In this paper, the problem of retrospective correction of intensity inhomogeneity in magnetic resonance (MR) images is addressed. A novel model-based correction method is proposed,...
: Integrated access to distributed data is an important problem faced in many scientific and commercial applications. A data integration system provides a unified view for users to...
Distributed databases and other networked information systems use copies or mirrors to reduce latency and to increase availability. Copies need to be refreshed. In a loosely coupl...
