EnFuzion and MOSIX are two packages that represent different approaches to cluster management. EnFuzion is a user-level queuing system that can dispatch a predetermined number of ...
1 In this paper, we study biometric key generation using face images. Given a face image, a set of biometric features are extracted. Each feature is compared with a threshold to ge...
In this paper we present a novel formulation for the optimal control of discrete event dynamic processes which represent production systems with unreliable machines and buffers of...
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for post compression optimal rate allocation and packetization within JPEG2000 encoding. JPEG2000, the new ISO/ITU-T standard for still ...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
