Static analysis is a tremendous help when trying to find faults in complex software. Writing multi-threaded programs is difficult, because the thread scheduling increases the prog...
In this paper we propose a novel late join algorithm for distributed applications with a fully replicated architecture (e.g. shared whiteboards). The term `late join algorithm'...
Much of the debate on cryptography has assumed that the real tension is between the state’s desire for effective policing and the privacy of the individual. We argue that this i...
Image feature detection is a fundamental issue in computer vision. SIFT[1] and SURF[2] are very effective in scale-space feature detection, but their stabilities are not good enou...
