Vertical partition is an important technique in database design used to enhance performance in database systems. Vertical fragmentation is a combinatorial optimization problem that...
We propose a framework for intensity-based registration of images by linear transformations, based on a discrete Markov Random Field (MRF) formulation. Here, the challenge arises ...

Platform-based design represents the most widely used approach to design System-On-Chip (SOC) applications. In this context, the Design Space Exploration (DSE) phase consists of o...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
In this paper, we propose a new lower approximation scheme for POMDP with discounted and average cost criterion. The approximating functions are determined by their values at a fi...
