This paper describes and analyzes the aggregation pheromone system (APS) algorithm, which extends ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. APS uses the collective behav...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
Demand for music databases is increasing for the studies of musicology and music informatics. Our goal is to construct databases that contain deviations of tempo, and dynamics, st...
In this paper we present two performance optimization methods for a motion compensated (MC) 2D wavelet video coding technique, which is based on two of the current stateof-the-art...
