Hybrid peer-to-peer architectures use special nodes to provide directory services for regions of the network (“regional directory services”). Hybrid peer-to-peer architectures...
When a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) admits no solution, most current solvers express that the whole search space has been explored unsuccessfully but do not exhibit which...
In this paper we propose a novel method for demographic classification and present an image retrieval system that can retrieve facial images by demographic information that includ...
