In this paper, we address the problem of providing QoS guarantees for multiple input-queued switching architecture. Stable matching of inputs and outputs is used for scheduling the enqueued packets to be transmitted across the switching fabric. With an in-depth theoretic analysis on the properties of stable matching in the context of a multiple input-queued switch, we propose efficient schemes ...

Typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. These errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. The aim of Approximate Record Matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. In this paper, an algorithm for Approximate Record Matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...

We describe techniques for registering images from sequences of aerial images captured of the same terrain on different days. The techniques are robust to changes in weather, including variable lighting conditions, shadows, and sparse intervening clouds. The primary underlying technique is robust feature matching between images, which is performed using both robust template matching and SIFT-li...
