— Metaheuristics such as Estimation of Distribution Algorithms and the Cross-Entropy method use probabilistic modelling and inference to generate candidate solutions in optimizat...

We propose a novel approach for determining if a pair of images match each other under the effect of a highdistortion transformation or non-structural relation. The co-occurrence ...
Long-range dependence (LRD) is a largely verified property of Internet traffic, which severely affects network queuing. An approach for guaranteeing performance requirements is...

—In this paper, the IEEE 802.16 protocol is investigated with respect to the bandwidth provision problem arising at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The aim is to optimally...
We describe a threshold-based local algorithm for image binarization. The main idea is to compute a transition energy using pixel value differences taken from a neighborhood aroun...
