Rate-Distortion Based Video Compression: Optimal Video Frame Compression and Object Boundary Encoding
ISBN: 9780792398509 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. One of the most intriguing problems in video processing is the removal of the redundancy or the compression of a video signal. There are a large number of applications which depend on video compression. Data compression represents the enabling technology behind the multimedia and digital television revolution. In motion compensated lossy video compression the original video sequence is first split into three new sources of information, segmentation, motion and residual error. These three information sources are then quantized, leading to a reduced rate for their representation but also to a...

Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation
ISBN: 9780792399223 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fault-Tolerant Parallel Computation presents recent advances in algorithmic ways of introducing fault-tolerance in multiprocessors under the constraint of preserving efficiency. The difficulty associated with combining fault-tolerance and efficiency is that the two have conflicting means: fault-tolerance is achieved by introducing redundancy, while efficiency is achieved by removing redundancy. This monograph demonstrates how in certain models of parallel computation it is possible to combine efficiency and fault-tolerance and shows how it is possible to develop efficient algorithms...

The SGML FAQ Book: Understanding the Foundation of HTML and XML
ISBN: 9780792399438 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although not evident to all, many people have been waiting more than a decade for The SGML FAQ Book by Steve DeRose. It has been "brewing" for a long time, with many hours, months, years of research talking to people, gathering their ideas, listening to their frustrations, applauding their successes. Only Steve with his experience, credentials, wit, and enthusiasm for the subject could have written this book. But it is also a measure of the success and maturity of ISO 8879 and its amazing longevity that allows an "SGMLer" to write such a book. We can now laugh at ourselves, even disclose our...

Indexing Techniques for Advanced Database Systems
ISBN: 9780792399858 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Recent years have seen an explosive growth in the use of new database applications such as CAD/CAM systems, spatial information systems, and multimedia information systems. The needs of these applications are far more complex than traditional business applications. They call for support of objects with complex data types, such as images and spatial objects, and for support of objects with wildly varying numbers of index terms, such as documents. Traditional indexing techniques such as the B-tree and its variants do not efficiently support these applications, and so new indexing mechanisms...

Logic of Domains
ISBN: 9780817635701 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This monograph studies the logical aspects of domains as used in de notational semantics of programming languages. Frameworks of domain logics are introduced; these serve as foundations for systematic derivations of proof systems from denotational semantics of programming languages. Any proof system so derived is guaranteed to agree with denotational se mantics in the sense that the denotation of any program coincides with the set of assertions true of it. The study focuses on two categories for dena tational semantics: SFP domains, and the less standard, but important, category of stable...

A Proof Theory for General Unification
ISBN: 9780817635930 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this monograph we study two generalizations of standard unification, E-unification and higher-order unification, using an abstract approach orig inated by Herbrand and developed in the case of standard first-order unifi cation by Martelli and Montanari. The formalism presents the unification computation as a set of non-deterministic transformation rules for con verting a set of equations to be unified into an explicit representation of a unifier (if such exists). This provides an abstract and mathematically elegant means of analysing the properties of unification in various settings by...

The Graph Isomorphism Problem: Its Structural Complexity
ISBN: 9780817636807 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Recently, a variety ofresults on the complexitystatusofthegraph isomorphism problem has been obtained. These results belong to the so-called structural part of Complexity Theory. Our idea behind this book is to summarize such results which might otherwise not be easily accessible in the literature, and also, to give the reader an understanding of the aims and topics in Structural Complexity Theory, in general. The text is basically self contained; the only prerequisite for reading it is some elementary knowledge from Complexity Theory and Probability Theory. It can be used to teach a seminar...

Finite Automata, Formal Logic, and Circuit Complexity
ISBN: 9780817637194 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The study of the connections between mathematical automata and for mal logic is as old as theoretical computer science itself. In the founding paper of the subject, published in 1936, Turing showed how to describe the behavior of a universal computing machine with a formula of first order predicate logic, and thereby concluded that there is no algorithm for deciding the validity of sentences in this logic. Research on the log ical aspects of the theory of finite-state automata, which is the subject of this book, began in the early 1960's with the work of J. Richard Biichi on monadic...
