Recently, a mathematical proof is obtained in (Liu, Chiu, Xu, 2004) on the so called one-bit-matching conjecture that all the sources can be separated as long as there is an one-to...
Many world wide web applications require access, transfer, and synchronization of large multimedia data objects (MDOs) (such as, audio, video, and images) across the communication...
Since multimedia data are characterized by continuity and massive volume, compression techniques such as MPEG are used for efficient transmission. However, a transmission error oc...
Over the past year we have been exploring the use of FPGA-based custom computing machines for several sonar beamforming applications, including time-domain beamforming[1], frequen...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
