Intensive computations required for sensing and processing perceptual information can impose significant burdens on personal computer systems. We explore several policies for sel...
In several video surveillance applications, such as the detection of abandoned/stolen objects or parked vehicles, the detection of stationary foreground objects is a critical task...
In today's software engineering practices, building applications from components is the ongoing trend. What can be noticed however is that there really is not a clear consens...
This paper describes the evaluation of two multimodal interfaces designed to provide visually impaired people with access to various types of graphs. The interfaces consist of aud...
It has become increasingly popular to construct large parallel computers by connecting many inexpensive nodes built with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts. These clusters can ...
