: This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm applicable to the task of device adjustment in smart appliances ensembles. The algorithm requires very little environmental knowledg...
We present a text-based approach for the automatic indexing and retrieval of digital photographs taken at crime scenes. Our research prototype, SOCIS, goes beyond keyword-based ap...
We propose to enhance a schema integration process with a validation phase employing logic-based data models. In our methodology, we validate the source schemas against the data mo...
When integrating software threads together to boost performance on a processor with instruction-level parallel processing support, it is rarely clear which code regions should be ...
We propose an illumination invariant and rotation insensitive texture representation based on a Markovian textural model. A texture is aligned with its dominant orientation and te...
