Ambient Intelligence scenarios can be deployed even when the environment lacks of a underlying network infrastructure. This can be done using distributed ad-hoc networks. Ambient ...
We propose and evaluate a novel approach for automatic parallelization. The approach uses traces as units of parallel work. We discuss the benefits and challenges of the use of t...
— an efficient rate-distortion (R-D) optimal method for transcoding hierarchical B-pictures is proposed in this paper. A new R-D model is presented for fast transcoding hierarchi...
