In this paper, we consider the throughput modelling and fairness provisioning in CSMNCA based ad-hoc networks. The main contributions am: Firstly, a throughput model based on Markovian analysis is proposed for the CSMNCA network with a general topology. Simulation investigations are presented to verify its performance. Secondly, fairness issues in CSMMCA networks are discussed based on the thro...

For the task of speaker verification, similarity measure normalization methods are relevant to cope with variability problems and with data and/or decision fusion problems. The aim of this paper is to suggest a new method of normalization which combines classical world model based normalization techniques with ones based on a posteriori probability. This original method presents the well-known ...

This paper intends to research on the link between musical similarity and style and sub-style (variant) classification in the context of flamenco a cappella singing styles. Given the limitation of standard computational models for melodic characterization and similarity computation in this particular context, we have proposed a specific set of melodic features adapted to flamenco singing styles...
