Knowing the orientation of a talker in the focal area of a large-aperture microphone array enables the development of better beamforming algorithms (to obtain higher-quality speech...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a form-based handprint recognition system for reading information written on forms. This public domain soft...
This paper presents a set of architectures for the composition of ubiquitous computing applications. It describes research that is being carried out in "extrovert-Gadgets&quo...
A deterministic behavior of systems composed of several modules is a desirable design goal. Assembling a complex system from components requires also a high degree of re-usability....
This paper presents a new architecture of a database management system intended to be used together with existing graphics software. In the first place, a system with this archite...
