In this paper we formulate a combinatorial auction brokering problem as a set packing problem and apply a simulated annealing heuristic with hybrid local moves to solve the proble...
A scheme for disk subsystem performance enhancement that is based on (virtual) cylinder remapping is proposed. A natural workload on a real system is measured, and statistical tes...

Markov Random Fields (MRFs) are proposed as viable stochastic models for the spatial distribution of gray level intensities for images of human faces. These models are trained usi...
Design simplification is becoming necessary to respect the target time-to-market of SoCs, and this goal can be obtained by using predesigned IP-cores. However, their correct inte...
We propose in this paper reliable and precise distributed localization algorithms for wireless networks: iterative multidimensional scaling (IT-MDS) and simulated annealing multid...
