— The Lagrangian technique proves to be an effective way in Rate-Distortion optimization for hybrid video coding. In this paper, an new Lagrange multiplier selection method for I...
Memory latency is an important bottleneck in system performance that cannot be adequately solved by hardware alone. Several promising software techniques have been shown to addres...

Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks. A major problem in programming parallel applications for such platforms is their hierarchi...
This paper deals with the optimization of a new technique of image compression. After the wavelet transform of an image, blocks of coefficients are further linearly decomposed us...
Coproduction systems, in which multiple products are produced simultaneously in a single production run, are prevalent in many industries. Such systems typically produce a random ...
