Abstract: This paper proposes extensions to the Object-Role Modeling approach to support schema transformations that eliminate unneeded columns that may arise from standard relatio...
The global health, threatened by emerging infectious diseases, pandemic influenza, and biological warfare, is becoming increasingly dependent on the rapid acquisition, processing,...
Abstract. In this paper we provide a method to find global minimizers of certain non-convex 2-phase image segmentation problems. This is achieved by formulating a convex minimizat...
Abstract— We consider path-based survivable service provisioning in transparent optical networks with the constraints of wavelength continuity and a limited number of add/drop po...
We present a statistical optimization framework for solving the end-to-end problem of progressive transmission of images over noisy channels. We consider the impacts of transmissi...
