This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Traditional indexes aim at optimizing the node accesses during query processing, which, however, does not necessarily minimize the total cost due to the possibly large number of r...
In this paper, we propose a novel automatic framework for variational color image segmentation based on unifying adaptive region information and mixture modelling. We consider a f...
We propose a reliability measure that identifies informative image cues useful for registration, and present a novel, data-driven approach to spatially adapt regularization to the...
