Spatial data warehouses (SDW) enable analytical multidimensional queries together with spatial analysis. Mainly, three operations are related to SDW query processing performance: (...
We present a new method for multi-object segmentation in a maximum a posteriori estimation framework. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighboring or coupling objec...
In the last decades enormous advances have been made possible for modelling complex (physical) systems by mathematical equations and computer algorithms. To deal with very long run...
Object-oriented technologies are frequently used to design and implement distributed applications. Object replication is a well-established approach to increase the dependability f...
We investigate the runtime of the Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm introduced by Kennedy and Eberhart (1997). The Binary PSO maintains a global best solution and...
