DHTs are scalable, self-organizing, and adaptive to underlying topology changes, thus being a promising infrastructure for realizing efficient Web service discovery. Range queries...
Perceptual image coding algorithms typically impose perceptual modeling in a preprocessing stage. A perceptual normalization model is often used to transform the original image si...
Abstract—DHT systems are structured overlay networks capable of using P2P resources as a scalable platform for very large data storage applications. However, their efficiency ex...
TPR-tree is a practical index structure for moving object databases. Due to the uniform distribution assumption, TPR-tree’s bulk loading algorithm (TPR) is relatively inefficie...
We characterize all limit laws of the quicksort type random variables defined recursively by Xn d = XIn + X n-1-In + Tn when the "toll function" Tn varies and satisfies ...
