Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
The current trend in operating systems research is to allow applications to dynamically extend the kernel to improve application performance or extend functionality, but the most ...
This paper describes a novel hand-based verification system based on palm-finger segmentation and fusion. The proposed system operates on 2D hand images acquired by placing the ha...
