We consider the asymmetric multilevel diversity (A-MLD) coding problem, where a set of 2 K 1 information sources, ordered in a decreasing level of importance, is encoded into K me...
In this paper we discuss some well-known morphological descriptions used in various projects and applications (most notably MULTEXT-East and Unitex) and illustrate the encountered...
In peer-to-peer (P2P) on-demand streaming networks, the alleviation of server load depends on reciprocal stream sharing among peers. In general, on-demand video services enable cl...
There has been much discussion of what a scientific theory of consciousness would look like, and even whether such a theory is possible. Some common misunderstandings of the natur...
Intelligent systems are often called upon to form plans that direct their own or other agents' activities. For these systems, the ability to describe plans to people in natur...
We propose a framework for the representation of visual knowledge in a robotic agent, with special attention to the understanding of dynamic scenes. According to our approach, und...

This paper proposes an efficient two-description image coding technique. The two side descriptions of an image are generated by quincunx subsampling. The decoding from any side des...

In this paper a novel H.264 multiple description technique is proposed. The coding approach is based on the redundant slice representation option, defined in the H.264 standard. In...
This paper discusses the notion of necessity in the light of results from contemporary mathematical practice. Two descriptions of necessity are considered. According to the first, ...
