The run-time binding of web services has been recently put forward in order to support rapid and dynamic web service compositions. With the growing number of alternative web servi...
Given a set of patterns and a similarity measure between them, we will present an optimization framework to approximate a small subset, known as a canonical set, whose members clo...
Many recent advances in complex domains such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) have taken a discriminative approach in conjunction with the global application of structural and...
Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
We consider a class of region-based energies for image
segmentation and inpainting which combine region integrals
with curvature regularity of the region boundary. To
minimize s...
