One challenge for research in constraint-based scheduling has been to produce scalable solution procedures under fairly general representational assumptions. Quite often, the comp...
A scalable video coder cannot be equally efficient over a wide range of bit-rates unless both the video data and the motion information are scalable. We propose a wavelet-based, h...
In the publish/subscribe paradigm, information providers disseminate publications to all consumers who have expressed interest by registering subscriptions. This paradigm has foun...
We present an index structure for managing weightedsequences in large databases. A weighted-sequence is defined as a two-dimensional structure where each element in the sequence i...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
