Distributed data management systems consist of peers that store, exchange and process data in order to collaboratively achieve a common goal, such as evaluate some query. We study...
In this paper, we present an automatic, runtime modeler for modeling realistic, animatable human bodies. A user can generate a new model or modify an existing one simply by inputt...
We describe a novel approach for 3D ear biometrics using video. A series of frames are extracted from a video clip and the region-of-interest (ROI) in each frame is independently ...
Abstract. Stochastic model checking is a recent extension of traditional modelchecking techniques for the integrated analysis of both qualitative and quantitative system properties...
