In this paper, we describe an approach for the automatic medical image annotation task of the 2009 CLEF cross-language image retrieval campaign (ImageCLEF). This work is focused o...
— We address a lifetime maximization problem for a single-hop wireless sensor network where multiple sensors encode and communicate their measurements of a Gaussian random source...
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
Parallel disks provide a cost effective way of speeding up I/Os in applications that work with large amounts of data. The main challenge is to achieve as much parallelism as poss...
