—We introduce the concept of a Visual Backchannel as a novel way of following and exploring online conversations about large-scale events. Microblogging communities, such as Twit...
If m 2 is constant and 0 r log log n for a small positive constant , then whp a random walk with look-ahead r on a scale-free graph G = G(m, n) has cover time CG(r) (2/(mr-1(...
We propose a method of music melody matching based on their “continuous” (or “time-frame-based”) pitch contours. Most previous methods using frame-based contours either ma...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
Voltage-frequency scaling (VFS) trades a linear processor slowdown for a potentially quadratic reduction in energy consumption. Complex dependencies may exist between different tas...
