We propose a novel Partition Path-Based (PPB) grouping strategy to store compressed XML data in a stream of blocks. In addition, we employ a minimal indexing scheme called Block S...
We present the first Utility Accrual (or UA) real-time scheduling algorithm for multiprocessors, called gMUA. The algorithm considers an application model where real-time activiti...

Abstract--Voxel-based reconstructions in diffuse optical tomography (DOT) using a quadratic regularization functional tend to produce very smooth images due to the attenuation of h...

We examine the bit rate variability-distortion (VD) curve of I, P, and B frames of MPEG-4 VBR encoded video sequences. We show that the concave VD curve shape at high compression ...

Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
