Although a variety of techniques have been developed for content-based image retrieval (CBIR), automatic image retrieval by semantics still remains a challenging problem. We propose a novel approach for semantics-based ...
Cost Estimation for Queries Experiencing Multiple Contention States in Dynamic Multidatabase Environments
(Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2003-02)
Accurate query cost estimation is crucial to query optimization in a multidatabase system. Several estimation techniques for a static environment have been suggested in the literature. To develop a cost model for a dynamic ...

On an Isospectral Lie–Poisson System and Its Lie Algebra
(Springer-Verlag; Society for the Foundations of Computational Mathematics, 2006-02)
In this paper we analyze the matrix differential system X' = [N,X 2 ], where N is skew-symmetric and X(0) is symmetric. We prove that it is isospectral and that it is endowed with a Poisson structure, and we discuss its ...
