— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
Carrier Sense Multiple Access / ID Countdown (CSMA/IC) is a collision-free ad hoc MAC protocol. CSMA/IC avoids simultaneous medium access by competing with a local unique ID assig...
Local Binary Pattern (LBP) histograms have attained much attention in face image analysis. They have been successfully used in face detection, recognition, verification, facial ex...
We present a specification for a new, localized group membership service that maintains the membership status of adjacent nodes – called neighbors – in a mobile distributed s...
This paper discusses local alignment kernels in the context of the relation extraction task. We define a local alignment kernel based on the Smith-Waterman measure as a sequence s...
