We consider soft real-time applications organised as pipelines of tasks using resources of different type (communication, computation, storage). The applications are assumed to be...
—Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) is often the method of choice for multilevel transmission over fading channels. If relatively simple forward error-correction (FEC) codes...
Abstract. Several national statistical agencies are now releasing partially synthetic, public use microdata. These comprise the units in the original database with sensitive or ide...
—This paper proposes a selective data pruning-based compression scheme to improve the rate-distortion relation of compressed images and video sequences. The original frames are p...
—Location and intersensor distance estimations are important functions for the operation of wireless sensor networks, especially when protocols can benefit from the distance info...
