It has long been recognised that interactivity improves the effectiveness of Information Retrieval systems. Speech is the most natural and interactive medium of communication and ...
Grid Computing brought the promise of making high-performance computing cheaper and more easily available than traditional supercomputing platforms. Such a promise was very well r...
In today's wide-issue processors, even small branch-misprediction rates introduce substantial performance penalties. Worse yet, inadequate branch prediction creates a bottlen...

Abstract. Autonomous learning systems of significant complexity often consist of several interacting modules or agents. These modules collaborate to produce a system which, when vi...
Abstract. In this work we present a novel system for autonomous mobile robot navigation. With only an omnidirectional camera as sensor, this system is able to build automatically a...
