Abstract—Home area networks (HANs) promise to enable sophisticated home automation applications such as smart energy usage and assisted living. However, recent empirical study of...
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
A collaborative system must perform both processing and transmission tasks. We present a policy for scheduling these tasks on a single core that is inspired by studies of human pe...
The vulnerability of computer nodes due to component failures is a critical issue for cluster-based file systems. This paper studies the development and deployment of mirroring in...
Abstract— This paper focuses on methods that enhance performance of a model based 3D object tracking system. Three statistical methods and an improved edge detector are discussed...
