This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images, which can be used to perform reliable matching between different images of an object or scene. The features are invariant to image scale and rotation, and are shown to provide robust matching across a a

numbers of solutions a simple GA run many times was found to produce more distinct solutions in a faster time than any of the specialised methods. On problems with low numbers of solutions spatial selection and tribes were found to be the most efficient at finding distinct solutions. Acknowledgements

and can simultaneously generate different solutions to a reasoning problem. The rule-based system can suppress the associative system but not completely inhibit it. The article reviews evidence in favor of the distinction and its characterization.

in 1979. Since then, various slightly different notions of program slices have been proposed, as well as a number of methods to compute them. An important distinction is that between a static and a dynamic slice. The former notion is computed without making assumptions regarding a program's input

with distinct security requirements. We propose a solution to one, the managed-open scenario where no network infrastructure is pre-deployed, but a small amount of prior security coordination is expected. Our protocol, ARAN, is based on certificates and successfully defeats all identified attacks.

Abstract — IP-based solutions to accommodate mobile hosts within existing internetworks do not address the distinctive features of wireless mobile computing. IP-based transport protocols thus suffer from poor performance when a mobile host communicates with a host on the fixed network

. The ability to obtain multiple distinct solutions in a single run is an important, though often forgotten, practical advantage of genetic algorithms, and therefore methods that enhance this ability are desirable. The approach taken here is inspired by nature: sexually reproducing organisms do

In this paper1, we investigate and discuss the underlying nature of the requirements traceability problem. Our work is based on empirical studies, involving over 100 practitioners, and an evaluation of current support. We introduce the distinction between pre-requirements specification (pre

We examine the solvability of multilinear equations of the form (x,x x) y, k,-k times-where Mk is a k-linear operator on a Banach space X and y E X is fixed.
