Recent technological advances in medicine facilitated the development of sophisticated equipment enabling the better delivery of health care services. In parallel, artificial neural networks emerged as promising tools for ...

An adaptive decentralized strategy for active queue management of TCP flows over communication networks is presented. The proposed strategy solves locally, at each link, an optimal control problem, minimizing a cost composed ...

Probabilistic flooding is a simple to implement, information dissemination scheme which is known to alleviate the broadcast storm problem. Simplicity of implementation is a critical requirement of network protocol design ...

User Experience (UX) design relates to the creation of models that affect user experiences during interaction with a system, while the incorporation of cognitive factors in the personalization process of Web systems might ...

Current processor trends show an increasing number of cores and a diversity of characteristics among them. Such processors offer a large potential for achieving high performance for different applications. Nevertheless, ...

The use of atomic commit protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks involves difficulties in setting up reasonable timeouts for aborting a pending distributed transaction. This paper presents the non-blocking Adjourn State, a ...

In this demonstration paper, we present an indoor positioning system developed for Android smartphones, coined Airplace. To infer the unknown user location we rely on ubiquitous WLANs and exploit Received Signal Strength ...

This work, using a game-theoretic approach, considers Internet-based computations, where a master processor assigns, over the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their ...

We present new multidimensional Amplitude-Modulation Frequency-Modulation (AM-FM) methods for motion estimation. For a single AM-FM component we show that the optical flow constraint leads to separate equations for amplitude ...
