Abstract. Load balancing emerges as an important problem that affects the performance of structured peer-to-peer systems. This paper presents a peer-to-peer system relying on the p...
In this paper, a new multiple description image coding scheme using directional lifting transform is proposed. The basic idea is to divide an image into two descriptions with quinc...
This paper studies the problem of resource discovery in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. We propose simple policies that make the discovery of resources resilient to coord...
Abstract— We prove that given a nearly log-concave distribution, in any partition of the space to two well separated sets, the measure of the points that do not belong to these s...
Most image segmentation algorithms optimize some mathematical similarity criterion derived from several low-level image features. One possible way of combining different types of f...
