: Spatial data types or algebras for database systems should (i) be fully general (which means, closed under set operations, hence e.g. a region value can be a set of polygons with...
How can we get such reliable behavior from the mind when the brain is made up of such unreliable elements as neurons? We propose that the answer is related to the emergence of stab...
The embedded-block coding with optimized truncation (EBCOT), which consists of a bit-plane coder (BPC) and a binary arithmetic coder (BAC), is the bottleneck in realizing a high-p...
Most software-intensive systems rely on a componentbased design and are therefore made up of encapsulated structural units which are hierarchically composed of one another. In thi...
This paper introduces MOCAS (Model Of Components for Adaptive Systems), a generic state-based component model which enables the self-adaptation of software components together wit...
