—Web-based systems commonly face unique set of vulnerabilities and security threats due to their high exposure, access by browsers, and integration with databases. In this paper ...
Materialized views defined over distributed data sources are a well recognized technology for modern applications. Stateof-the-art incremental view maintenance requires O(n2 ) or ...
In many computer vision algorithms, the well known Euclidean or SSD (sum of the squared differences) metric is prevalent and justified from a maximum likelihood perspective when t...

This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
Faces under varying illumination, pose and non-rigid deformation are empirically thought of as a highly nonlinear manifold in the observation space. How to discover intrinsic low-...
