— Recently developed appearance descriptors offer the opportunity for efficient and robust facial expression recognition. In this paper we investigate the merits of the family o...
Abstract— We propose here to acquire high resolution sequences of a person’s face using a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) network camera. This capability should prove helpful in forensic a...
In this article, we consider the estimation of exponential sums along the points of the reduction mod pm of a p-adic analytic submanifold of Zn p . More precisely, we extend Igusa...
Description logics (DLs) are widely employed in recent semantic web application systems. However, classical description logics are limited when dealing with imprecise concepts and ...
Abstract—Ballooning traffic volumes and increasing linkspeeds require ever high compute power to perform complex real-time processing of network packets. FPGAs have already been...
As file systems reach the petabytes scale, users and administrators are increasingly interested in acquiring highlevel analytical information for file management and analysis. T...

Elasticity of cloud computing environments provides an economic incentive for automatic resource allocation of stateful systems running in the cloud. However, these systems have t...
Multi-tier systems that combine SSDs with SAS/FC and/or SATA disks mitigate the capital cost burden of SSDs, while benefiting from their superior I/O performance per unit cost an...

Previous approaches to RAID scaling either require a very large amount of data to be migrated, or cannot tolerate multiple disk additions without resulting in disk imbalance. In t...
Benchmarking file and storage systems on large filesystem images is important, but difficult and often infeasible. Typically, running benchmarks on such large disk setups is a ...
