In this paper we present a quantitative study of data survival in peer to peer storage systems. We first recall two main redundancy mechanisms: replication and erasure codes, whic...
In multi -agent systems based on softbots, communication architectures have significant influences on system performance as interaction and cooperation of softbots are carried out...
Software testing can only be formalized and quanti ed when a solid basis for test generation can be de ned. Tests are commonly generated from program source code, graphical models ...
A novel scheme for the detection of object boundaries is presented. The technique is based on active contours evolving in time according to intrinsic geometric measures of the imag...
Platform FPGAs incorporate many different components, such as processor core(s), reconfigurable logic, memory, etc., onto a single chip. When an application is synthesized on platf...
