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...
A smart card based face verification system is proposed in which the feature extraction and decision making is performed on the card. Such an architecture has many privacy and sec...
We define and study the bandwidth determination problem in adhoc P2P environments. Using point-to-point bandwidth probes, the goal is to quickly determine each host's upload ...
