This paper addresses a key bottleneck in the use of the 3D medial axis (MA) representation, namely, how the complex MA structure can be regularized so that similar, within-categor...
In previous papers [5,6], an optical switch architecture was proposed to handle variable-length packets such as IP datagrams, based on an AWG device to route packets and equipped w...
Active services are application-specified programs that are executed inside the network. The location where the active service is executed plays an important role. The dynamic beha...
We study the problem of minimizing a sum of p-norms where p is a fixed real number in the interval [1, ]. Several practical algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem. How...
Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
