This paper examines the task of constructing boundedtime self-stabilizing rule-based systems that take their input from an external environment. Bounded response-time and self-sta...
In this paper, we present a method to estimate the number of reconfiguration steps that a time-constrained algorithm can accommodate. This analysis demonstrates how one would attac...
Several formalisms have been proposed for qualitative reasoning about regions and their topological relations in space. These formalisms, based on pairwise relations, do not allow...
We address the issue of detecting automatically occurrences of high level patterns in audiovisual documents. These patterns correspond to recurring sequences of shots, which are co...
Synchronous Dataflow, a subset of dataflow, has proven to be a good match for specifying DSP programs. Because of the limited amount of memory in embedded DSPs, a key problem duri...
