We propose a concise definition of the skew angle of document, based on mathematical morphology. This definition has the advantages to be applicable both for binary and grey-scale...
A spanner of a graph is a sparse subgraph that approximately preserves distances in the original graph. More precisely, a subgraph H = (V, EH ) is a k-spanner of a graph G = (V, E...
Mutual exclusion is used to coordinate access to shared resources by concurrent processes. k-Exclusion is a variant of mutual exclusion in which up to k processes can simultaneous...
In this paper we survey two multi-dimensional Scale Saliency approaches based on graphs and the k-d partition algorithm. In the latter case we introduce a new divergence metric an...
— This paper looks at the problem of automatically tuning the database server multiprogramming level to improve database server performance under varying workloads. We describe t...
