  • Shudong, Jin; Bestavros, Azer; Iyengar, Arun (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2001-10)
    Internet streaming applications are adversely affected by network conditions such as high packet loss rates and long delays. This paper aims at mitigating such effects by leveraging the availability of client-side caching ...
  • Alon, Jonathan; Athitsos, Vassilis; Sclaroff, Stan (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2005-06-03)
    Gesture spotting is the challenging task of locating the start and end frames of the video stream that correspond to a gesture of interest, while at the same time rejecting non-gesture motion patterns. This paper proposes ...
  • Sclaroff, Stan; Isidoro, John (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1997-05-05)
    A new region-based approach to nonrigid motion tracking is described. Shape is defined in terms of a deformable triangular mesh that captures object shape plus a color texture map that captures object appearance. Photometric ...
  • Epstein, Samuel; Betke, Margrit (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-03-10)
    We introduce Active Hidden Models (AHM) that utilize kernel methods traditionally associated with classification. We use AHMs to track deformable objects in video sequences by leveraging kernel projections. We introduce ...
  • Isidora, John; Sclaroff, Stan (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1998-02-16)
    A vision based technique for non-rigid control is presented that can be used for animation and video game applications. The user grasps a soft, squishable object in front of a camera that can be moved and deformed in order ...
  • Yilmaz, Selma; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2005-05-25)
    The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the current inter-domain routing protocol used to exchange reachability information between Autonomous Systems (ASes) in the Internet. BGP supports policy-based routing which allows ...
  • Magee, John; Epstein, Samuel; Missimer, Eric; Betke, Margrit (CS Department, Boston University, 2010-09-06)
    Users of mouse-replacement interfaces may have difficulty conforming to the motion requirements of their interfacesystem. We have observed users with severe motor disabilities who controlled the mouse pointer with a head ...
  • Yilmaz, Selma; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2005-07-07)
    The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the current inter-domain routing protocol used to exchange reachability information between Autonomous Systems (ASes) in the Internet. BGP supports policy-based routing which allows ...
  • Yoon, Jaehee; Bestavros, Azer; Matta, Ibrahim (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1999-09-15)
    An increasing number of applications, such as distributed interactive simulation, live auctions, distributed games and collaborative systems, require the network to provide a reliable multicast service. This service enables ...
  • Fry, Gerald; West, Richard (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2003-11-07)
    Current research on Internet-based distributed systems emphasizes the scalability of overlay topologies for efficient search and retrieval of data items, as well as routing amongst peers. However, most existing approaches ...
  • Byers, John W.; Mitzenmacher, Michael; Zervas, Georgios (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-10-10)
    Attributing a dollar value to a keyword is an essential part of running any profitable search engine advertising campaign. When an advertiser has complete control over the interaction with and monetization of each user ...
  • Kfoury, A.J.; Wells, J.B. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1995-03-31)
    This is an addendum to our technical report BUCS TR-94-014 of December 19, 1994. It clarifies some statements, adds information on some related research, includes a comparison with research be de Groote, and fixes two ...
  • Kfoury, A.J.; Wells, J.B. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1994-03-16)
    The ML programming language restricts type polymorphism to occur only in the "let-in" construct and requires every occurrence of a formal parameter of a function (a lambda abstraction) to have the same type. Milner in 1978 ...
  • Bestavros, Azer; Katagai, Naomi; Londoño, Jorge M. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1998-05)
    In this paper we examine a number of admission control and scheduling protocols for high-performance web servers based on a 2-phase policy for serving HTTP requests. The first "registration" phase involves establishing the ...
  • Bestavros, Azer; Nagy, Sue (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1996-01-15)
    We propose and evaluate an admission control paradigm for RTDBS, in which a transaction is submitted to the system as a pair of processes: a primary task, and a recovery block. The execution requirements of the primary ...
  • Ramamritham, Krithi; Sivasankaran, Raju; Stankovic, John; Towsley, Don; Xiong, Ming; Haritsa, Jayant; Seshadri, S.; Kuo, Tei-Wei; Mok, Aloysius; Ulusoy, Ozgur; Buchmann, Alejandro; Lin, Kwei-Jay; Peng, Ching-Shan; Son, Sang; Adelberg, Brad; Garcia-Molina, Hector; Kao, Ben; Andler, S.; Berndtsson, M.; Eftring, B.; Eriksson, J.; Hansson, J.; Mellin, J. (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1996-01-15)
    A Real-Time DataBase System (RTDBS) can be viewed as an amalgamation of a conventional DataBase Management System (DBMS) and a real-time system. Like a DBMS, it has to process transactions and guarantee ACID database ...
  • Hartmann, Olivier; Bestavros, Azer (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1998-01-05)
    In this paper we present an extension of the TCP stack that allows a sequence of TCP connections between the same machines to share the congestion window. Our Linux implementation of this scenario shows significant improvement ...
  • Bestavros, Azer; Makarechian, Mohammad (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1993-12)
    This paper describes a prototype implementation of a Distributed File System (DFS) based on the Adaptive Information Dispersal Algorithm (AIDA). Using AIDA, a file block is encoded and dispersed into smaller blocks stored ...
  • Bestavros, Azer (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1996-01-05)
    The proliferation of mobile computers and wireless networks requires the design of future distributed real-time applications to recognize and deal with the significant asymmetry between downstream and upstream communication ...
  • Oliart, Alberto (Boston University Computer Science Department, 1994-12-14)
    This report presents an algorithm, and its implementation, for doing type inference in the context of Quasi-Static Typing (QST) ["Quasy-static Typing." Satish Thatte Proc. ACM Symp. on Principles of Programming Languages, ...
