— The efforts to construct a national scale Grid computing environment have brought unprecedented computing capacity and complicacy. Exploiting this complex infrastructure requir...
Cloud enabled systems have become a crucial component to efficiently process and analyze massive amounts of data. One of the key data processing and analysis operations is the Sim...
In this paper we explore the use of shapes of noses for
performing partial human biometrics. The basic idea is to
represent nasal surfaces using indexed collections of isocurves,...
