The paper presents a hardware friendly fast algorithm and its architecture for motion estimation (ME) in H.264 video coding. The fast algorithm adopts the quarter pel subsampling a...
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) one seeks to find a minimum cost subgraph that satisfies prescribed node-connectivity requirements. We give a novel approximation r...
Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes play an important role in data warehousing. Typically, design work on ETL has focused on performance as the sole metric to make sure that the...

—Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have failed to reduce the cost of peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic. Traffic throttling devices increase user download times, and caches store content...
Abstract—It is often claimed that future systems will necessarily be all-optical, because electronic devices are not fast enough to keep up with the increase in fiber capacity. ...
