Due to the strong increase of processing units available to the end user, expressing parallelism of an algorithm is a major challenge for many researchers. Parallel applications ar...
This paper describes an approach to retrieve images containing specific objects, scenes or buildings. The image content is captured by a set of local features. More precisely, we ...
There is a growing interest in the use of speculative multithreading to speed up the execution of a program. In speculative multithreading model, threads are extracted from a sequ...
In the Bayesian approach to sequential decision making, exact calculation of the (subjective) utility is intractable. This extends to most special cases of interest, such as reinfo...
