— In a data-mining approach, a model for estimation of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from satellite observations is learned using collocated satellite and groundbased observations....
A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
In this paper, we consider the scenario that a population-based algorithm is applied to a numerical optimization problem and a solution needs to be presented within a given time bu...
Linked data structure (LDS) accesses are critical to the performance of many large scale applications. Techniques have been proposed to prefetch such accesses. Unfortunately, many...
Many world wide web applications require access, transfer, and synchronization of large multimedia data objects (MDOs) (such as, audio, video, and images) across the communication...
