So far, an efficient similarity search in multimedia databases has been carried out by metric access methods (MAMs), where the utilized similarity measure had to satisfy the metric...
Recent research has shown that while many complex networks follow a power-law distribution for their node degrees, it is not sufficient to model these networks based only on their...
We propose a metric for surface parameterization specialized to its signal that can be used to create more efficient, high-quality texture maps. Derived from Taylor expansion of s...

In this paper we present the Slim-tree, a dynamic tree for organizing metric datasets in pages of fixed size. The Slim-tree uses the "fat-factor" which provides a simple ...

We study vehicle routing problems with constraints on the distance traveled by each vehicle or on the number of vehicles. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled b...
In many computer vision algorithms, the well known Euclidean or SSD (sum of the squared differences) metric is prevalent and justified from a maximum likelihood perspective when t...

Abstract--The static nature of mesh nodes imposes requirements for designing routing metrics that support high throughput and low packet delay. This paper considers the problem of ...
Many blog posts deal with current issues, so much attention has been paid to identifying topic trends in blogs. This paper suggests a new metric of selecting topic words. We empiri...

Although they play an important role in any assessment procedure, web accessibility metrics are not yet well developed and studied. In addition, most metrics are geared towards co...
The ARPANBT routing metric wasrevised in July 1987,resulting in substantial performance improvements, especially in terms of user delay and effective network capacity. These revis...
