Coordination languages were introduced in the early 80's as programming notations to manage the interaction among concurrent collaborating software entities. Process algebras...
This article improves recent methods for large scale image search. We first analyze the bag-of-features approach in the framework of approximate nearest neighbor search. This lea...
We develop a computational model of shape that extends existing Riemannian models of shape of curves to multidimensional objects of general topological type. We construct shape sp...
