Archival storage systems are designed for a write-once, read-maybe usage model which places an emphasis on the long-term preservation of their data contents. In contrast to tradit...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
We wish to endow the manifold M of smooth curves in lRn with a Riemannian metric that allows us to treat continuous morphs (homotopies) between two curves c0 and c1 as trajectorie...
— Packet buffers in router/switch interfaces constitute a central element of packet networks. The appropriate sizing of these buffers is an important and open research problem. M...
We study the impact of a set of industry, firm- and e-commerce-related factors on Internet firm survival. Through the use of one age-based and another calendar time-based Bayesian...
