We consider packet scheduling in a network providing differentiated services, where each packet is assigned a value. We study various queueing models for supporting QoS (Quality ...
Requirements elicitation involves the construction of large sets of conceptual models. An important step in the analysis of these models is checking their consistency. Existing re...
In this paper, we specify the indirect utility function as a partially linear model, where utility is nonparametric in expenditure and parametric (with fixed- or varying-coefficie...
This paper presents a novel graph cut based segmentation approach with shape priors. The model incorporates statistical shape prior information with the active contour without edg...
For difficult prediction problems, practitioners often segment the data into relatively homogenous groups and then build a model for each group. This two-step procedure usually res...
