Message-logging protocols are an integral part of a popular technique for implementing processes that can recover from crash failures. All message-logging protocols require that, ...
A deterministic server is shared by users with identical linear waiting costs, requesting jobs of arbitrary lengths. Shortest jobs are served first for efficiency. The server can...
Estimates of predicate selectivities by database query optimizers often differ significantly from those actually encountered during query execution, leading to poor plan choices a...
In this paper, we tackle the problem of unsupervised selection and posterior recognition of visual landmarks in images sequences acquired by an indoor mobile robot. This is a high...
The watershed transformation is an efficient tool for segmenting grayscale images. An original approach to the watershed [1,9] consists in modifying the original image by lowering...
