In this paper, we consider the problem of incorporating privacy protection in a biometric access control system. An Anonymous Biometric Access Control (ABAC) system is proposed to...
In this paper, a primal dual method for general possible nonconvex nonlinear optimization problems is considered. The method is an exterior point type method which means that it p...
A new algorithm for solving MAX-SAT problems is introduced which clusters good solutions, and restarts the search from the closest feasible solution to the centroid of each cluster...
Knowledge-sharing communities like Wikipedia and automated extraction methods like those of DBpedia enable the construction of large machine-processible knowledge bases with relat...
