Recent research in image compression has focused on lossy compression algorithms. However, the baseline implementations of such algorithms generally use a universal quantization p...
This paper proposes an adaptive system for video news story tracking based on the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD). When an interesting story appears in the news, it is flagged man...
The fault tolerance provided by FT-CORBA is basically static, that is, once the fault tolerance properties of a group of replicated processes defined, they cannot be modified in r...
Abstract. Applying traditional Adaptive Hypermedia techniques to the personalization of news can pose a number of problems. The first main difficulty is the fact that news is inher...
Product Distribution (PD) theory was recently developed as a framework for analyzing and optimizing distributed systems. In this paper we demonstrate its use for adaptive distribu...
