Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, ca...
Grid services have tremendously simplified the programming challenges in leveraging large-scale distributed comAt the same time, the increased level of abstraction reduces the op...
For improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264 video coding standard uses new coding tools, such as variable block size, quarter-pixel-accuracy motion estimation, multiple refere...
— In this paper, we propose a Reverse Frame Selection (RFS) scheme based on dynamic programming to solve for the problem of video streaming over VBR channels. In particular, we ...
— Large-scale peer-to-peer systems span a wide range of Internet locations. Such diversity can be leveraged to build overlay “detours” to circumvent periods of poor performan...
