This paper presents a highly accurate and efficient method for crack detection using percolation-based image processing. The detection of cracks in concrete surfaces during the ma...
Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
Cloud computing has the potential for tremendous benefits, but wide scale adoption has a range of challenges that must be met. We review these challenges and how they relate to sc...
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has reached very high levels of performance in controlled situations. However, the performance degrades significantly when environmental noise ...
Social Tagging Systems (STS) empower users to classify and organize resources and to improve the retrieval performance over the tagged resources. In this paper we argue that the po...
