In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance of a Video on Demand (VoD) system. The model estimates the mean waiting time achievable by the P...
The notion of program transformation is ubiquitous in programming language studies on interpreters, compilers, partial evaluators, etc. In order to implement a program transformat...
The three-tiered discourse representation defined in (Luperfoy, 1991) is applied to multimodal humancomputer interface (HCI) dialogues. In the applied system the three tiers are (...
