Abstract— With the increasing popularity of parallel programming environments such as PC clusters, more and more sequential programmers, with little knowledge about parallel arch...
A fundamental problem in peer-to-peer networks is how to locate appropriate peers efficiently to answer a specific query request. This paper proposes a model in which semantically...
Conventional contour tracking algorithms with level set often use generative models to construct the energy function. For tracking through cluttered and noisy background, however,...
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are effective and robust methods for solving many practical problems such as feature selection, electrical circuits synthesis, and data mining. Howeve...
Similarity search leveraging distance-based index structures is increasingly being used for both multimedia and biological database applications. We consider distance-based indexi...
