While many pleasing effects are possible using the current VRML sound model [9], it falls short of producing convincing aural environments. Sound sources are not easily affected b...
In the paper, an e cient image database system is developed. The most important features of the proposed system include compressed domain indexing, searching by using scalable fea...
The idea of cyclic scheduling is commonly utilized to address short-term scheduling problems for multiproduct batch plants under the assumption of relatively stable operations and...
We study algorithmic problems in multi-stage open shop processing systems that are centered around reachability and deadlock detection questions. We characterize safe and unsafe s...
