Existing studies on the design of routing protocols for wireless ad hoc networks mainly focused on energy efficiency. However, in many real-time applications such as target trackin...
The structural similarity (SSIM) index has been shown to be a good perceptual image quality predictor. In many real-world applications such as network visual communications, howev...
One of the most severe problems in hybrid video coding is its block-based approach, which leads to distortions called blocking artifacts. These artifacts affect not only the subje...
Service-Oriented Architecture enables the composition of loosely coupled services provided with varying Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Given a composition, finding the set of ser...
Abstract--The provision of Quality of Service in Grid environments is still an open issue that needs attention from the research community. One way of contributing to the provision...
