Traditionally, specific telecommunications services were essentially confined to certain types of networks; e.g., television over broadcast networks or cable and voice service ove...
Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two popular techniques commonly employed to save energy in real-time embedded systems. DVS policies aim at red...
The task of multi-camera surveillance is to reconstruct the paths taken by all moving objects that are temporarily visible from multiple non-overlapping cameras. We present a Baye...
An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
