We propose a physically based algorithm for synthesizing sounds synchronized with brittle fracture animations. Motivated by laboratory experiments, we approximate brittle fracture...
Benchmarking spatiotemporal database systems requires the definition of suitable datasets simulating the typical behavior of moving objects. Previous approaches for generating spa...
Recent advances in Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and programmable interconnects have made it possible to build efficient hardware emulation engines. In addition, improveme...
Multi-touch interfaces have been a focus of research in recent years, resulting in development of various innovative UI concepts. Support for existing WIMP interfaces, however, sh...
In this paper, we assess the impact of using thesaurus-based query expansion methods, at the Information Retrieval (IR) stage of a Question Answering (QA) system. We focus on expan...
