Room acoustics refers to the audio capture of an enclosed room. It can be seen as its color and fully describes the characteristics of the room, including the shape, size or the population. The goal of the project is to set up a database of Room impulse re ...
The goal of multi-objective quality-driven service selection (QDSS) is to find service selections for a workflow whose quality-of-service (QoS) values are Pareto-optimal. We consider multiple QoS attributes such as response time, cost, and reliability. A s ...

The “radiotherapy structure set” (RTSTRUCT) object of the DICOM standard is used for the transfer of patient structures and related data, between the devices found within and outside the radiotherapy department. It contains mainly the information for regio ...
We consider the problem of building a binary decision tree, to locate an object within a set by way of the least number of membership queries. This problem is equivalent to the “20 questions game” of information theory and is closely related to lossless so ...
As many whole genomes are sequenced, comparative genomics is moving from pairwise comparisons to multiway comparisons framed within a phylogenetic tree. A central problem in this process is the inference of data for internal nodes of the tree from data giv ...
The problem of finding "small" sets that meet every straight-line which intersects a given convex region was initiated by Mazurkiewicz in 1916. We call such a set an opaque set or a barrier for that region. We consider the problem of computing the shortest ...
In [1], an important step toward the characterization of distributed detection over adaptive networks has been made by establishing the fundamental scaling law of the error probabilities. However, empirical evidence reported in [1] revealed that a refined ...
A natural extension of the makespan minimization problem on unrelated machines is to allow jobs to be partially processed by different machines while incurring an arbitrary setup time. In this paper we present increasingly stronger LP-relaxations for this ...
We present a novel approximation algorithm for k-median that achieves an approximation guarantee of 1 + √3 + ε, improving upon the decade-old ratio of 3+ε. Our approach is based on two components, each of which, we believe, is of independent interest. Firs ...
A mock-up gun has been manufactured as exact replica of the refurbishment first prototype EU 170 GHz/2MW/CW coaxial cavity gyrotron, but without emitter ring in order to validate the voltage standoff stability. The experimental results of the mock-up gun t ...
