A method that combines shape-based object recognition and image segmentation is proposed for shape retrieval from images. Given a shape prior represented in a multiscale curvature...
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...
In this paper, we present a novel non-data aided method for phase recovery in both square and cross quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) communication systems, based on character...
Forecasting is of prime importance for accuracy in decision making. For data sets containing high autocorrelations, failure to account for temporal dependence will result in poor ...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
