In this paper, we propose a novel and simple fast block-matching algorithm (BMA), called adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS), which consists of two sequential search stages: 1) ini...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
We present a brokering service for the adaptive management of composite services. The goal of this broker is to dynamically adapt at runtime the composite service configuration, ...
— Replication is a technique widely used for large networked software systems to provide qualities such as reliability, availability, performance and scalability to their clients...
— We introduce a novel strategy for data processing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the case of emergency fire evacuation with stringent delay constraints. Such networks sh...
