The bounded diameter minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising, for example, in network design when quality of service is of concern. ...
Execution plans produced by traditional query optimizers for data integration queries may yield poor performance for several reasons. The cost estimates may be inaccurate, the mem...
Abstract—We describe a trellis-based algorithm which enables R-D optimum quantization decisions in the H.263+ video coding standard. The algorithm allows the quantization decisio...
In this paper, we revisit the master-slave tasking paradigm in the context of heterogeneous processors. We assume that communications take place in exclusive mode. We present a po...
We introduce an optimum watermark embedding technique that satisfies common watermarking requirements such as visual fidelity, sufficient embedding rate, robustness against noise ...
