Service-oriented architectures enable services to be dynamically selected and integrated at runtime, thus enabling system flexibility and adaptiveness—autonomic attributes that...
A convenient representation of a video segment is a single “keyframe.” Keyframes are widely used in applications such as non-linear browsing and video editing. With existing m...
This paper presents a systematic method for simultaneously defining a software architecture and selecting off-the-shelf components for reuse. The method builds upon existing tec...
We propose a selection scheme called Fitness-based Neighbor Selection (FNS) for multimodal optimization. The FNS is aimed for ill-scaled and locally multimodal domain, both found ...
Recent work has shown that intelligent neighbor selection during construction can significantly enhance the performance of peer-to-peer overlay networks. While its impact on perf...
