Grid services have tremendously simplified the programming challenges in leveraging large-scale distributed comAt the same time, the increased level of abstraction reduces the op...
Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are widely used for describing interaction scenarios between the components of a distributed system. Consequently, worst-case response time estimati...
Visual surveillance and monitoring have aroused interest in the computer video community for many years. The main task of these applications is to identify (and track) moving targ...
This paper presents a general framework for analyzing and designing embedded systems with energy and timing requirements. A set of realistic assumptions is considered in the model...
Motion information is essential in many computer vision and video analysis tasks. Since MPEG is still one of the most prevalent formats for representing, transferring and storing ...
