VaR (value-at-risk) estimates are currently based on two main techniques: the variance-covariance approach or simulation. Statistical and computational problems affect the reliability of these techniques. We illustrate a ...

This paper describes and applies a nonparametric model for pricing multivariate contingent claims. Multivariate contingent claims are contracts whose payoffs depend on the future prices of more than one underlying variable. ...

Within the project NOPTILUS, a fully functional system/methodology had been developed that allows the cooperative, fully-autonomous navigation of teams of AUVs when deployed in Static or Dynamic Underwater Map Construction ...

Current multi-AUV systems are far from being capable of fully autonomously taking over real-life complex situation-awareness operations. As such operations require advanced reasoning and decision-making abilities, current ...

Biomedical research and clinical decision depend increasingly on a number of authoritative databases, mostly public and continually enriched via peer scientific contributions. Given the dynamic nature of data and their ...

This paper proposes a new method for visual multimedia content encryption using Cellular Automata (CA). The encryption scheme is based on the application of an attribute of the CLF XOR filter, according to which the original ...

With the recent evolution of technology, the number of image archives has increased exponentially. In Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), high-level visual information is represented in the form of low-level features. ...
