Video compression is one of the topics included in the area of images digital processing. The book gives an introduction to algorithms and architectures used in standard video and audio compression

Research work on "short-text clustering" is a very important research area due to the current tendency for people to use "small-language", e.g. blogs, textmessaging and others. In some recent works, new bioinspired clustering algorithms have been proposed to deal with…

Minimization of query execution time is an important performance objective in distributed databases design. While total time is to be minimized for On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) type queries, response time has to be minimized in Decision Support type queries.…

<i>Algorithms of the Intelligent Web</i> is a timely and instructive book that brings together techniques for the rapidly evolving field of intelligent web applications. It covers problems such as crawling, indexing, searching, integrating search results with link analysis and user’s…

The book intends to address the important aspects of high-performance signal processing with a focus on the recent development of VLSI technology for signal processing.
The editors collect much of all the research efforts and findings that have made high…

One of the major breakthroughs in VLSI technology has been its ability to implement signal processing algorithms and architectures onto cost-effective ASIC and DSP chips.
Works in this area are highly interdisciplinary; they involve interaction among areas such as VLSI…

In this paper, we present a new model of an artificial
immune system (AIS), based on the process
that suffers the T-Cell, it is called T-Cell
Model. It is used for solving constrained (numerical)
optimization problems. The model operates
on…
