Technical Reports (Computing Science)

2005

Li, Yuxi, Harms, Janelle, Holte, Robert

Technical report TR05-24. Energy efficiency is an important issue in multihop wireless networks with energy concerns. Usually it is achieved with accurate knowledge of the traffic pattern and/or the current network information such as load and remaining energy level (in an energy constrained...

Goebel, Randy, Chen, Jiyang, Yu, Philip S., Zaiane, Osmar R.

Technical report TR09-02. The significant increase in open access digital information has created incredible opportunities for modern database research, especially in exploiting significant computational resources to determine complex relationships within those data. In this paper, we consider...

Leontiev, Yuri

Technical report TR99-02. The concept of an object-oriented database programming language (OODBPL) is appealing because it has the potential of combining the advantages of object orientation and database programming to yield a powerful and universal programming language design. A uniform and...

Xing, Zhenchang, Stroulia, Eleni

Technical report TR03-20. Understanding the software architecture of a system and the process by which it has evolved to its current state is an important task that software developers are often faced with. It becomes relevant when one needs to assess a system for the purpose of adopting it in a...

Wang, Tao

Technical report TR08-11. 3D thinning algorithms are generally faster than any other connectivity-preservation skeletonization methods. However, most 3D thinning algorithms cannot guarantee to generate unit-width skeleton. This document describes an algorithm to generate unit-width skeleton ...

Morgan, David

Technical report TR05-04. As defined by Peleg (Peleg, LNCS vol. 1893, 2000), an informative labelling scheme labels the vertices of a graph so that information can be deduced from the vertex labels. Peleg's paper on informative labelling schemes generalized the concepts introduced by Muller...

Yang, Herb, Qin, Xuejie

Technical report TR05-25. The original multiscale MRF texture model proposed by Paget (IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 1998, page 925-931) can be used to synthesize a broad range of textures but is limited to taking a single input texture and outputting a homogeneous texture similar to the...

2007

Amaral, Nelson, Niewiadomski, Robert, Furtak, Timothy

Technical report TR07-02. Most contemporary processors offer some version of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) machinery -- vector registers and instructions to manipulate data stored in such registers. The central idea of this paper is to use these SIMD resources to improve the...

1998

Folliott, Bruce, Eskicioglu, M. Rasit

Technical report TR98-09. The University of Alberta has a new Visual Identity Program which includes a new stationary design. This document is to facilitate using that design in Latex documents by describing the visual identity graphics and their use in Latex. | TRID-ID TR98-09

1996

Ozsu, M. Tamer, Goralwalla, Iqbal, Li, John, Szafron, Duane

Technical report TR96-02. Video modeling has become a topic of increasing interest in the area of multimedia research. One of the key aspects in the video medium is the temporal relationship between video frames. In this report1 we propose a tree based model for specifying spatial and temporal...
