Nowadays, systems often integrate a variety of applications whose service requirements are heterogeneous. Consequently, systems must be able to concurrently serve applications whi...
The current landscape for digital rights management (DRM) consists of various ad hoc technologies and platforms that largely focus on copy protection. The fragmented nature of the...
One of the primary advantages of artificial neural networks is their inherent ability to perform massively parallel, nonlinear signal processing. However, the asynchronous dynamics...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
—In this paper, we propose a novel predictive model, active volume model (AVM), for object boundary extraction. It is a dynamic “object” model whose manifestation includes a ...
