With the remarkable growth of portable application and the increasing frequency and integration density, power is being given comparable weight to speed and area in IC designs. In...
Fractal image coding can be seen as spectral prediction of coefficients in the wavelet decomposition of an image. Fine scale coefficients are described by shifted and scaled coeff...

In fractal image compression a partitioning of the image into ranges is required. In our previous work [1] we have proposed to find good partitionings by means of a split-andmerg...
In this paper, we present and evaluate alternative techniques to effect the use of location-independent identifiers in distributed database systems. Location-independent identi...
Information integration systems have to cope with the different and limited query interfaces of the underlying information sources. First, the integration systems need description...
