-- In this paper, we propose an energy-aware MPEG-4 FGS video streaming system with client feedback. In this client-server system, the battery-powered mobile client sends its maxim...
We present a method to detect characters on signboards in natural scene images. For many applications, both classifier with small computational cost and the efficient feature set,...
Magic sets rewriting is a well-known optimization heuristic for complex decision-support queries. There can be many variants of this rewriting even for a single query, which diffe...

A fundamental problem in distributed computation is the distributed evaluation of functions. The goal is to determine the value of a function over a set of distributed inputs, in ...
Background: The large gap between the number of protein sequences in databases and the number of functionally characterized proteins calls for the development of a fast computatio...
