Interpreting an image as a function on a compact subset of the Euclidean plane, we get its scale-space by diffusion, spreading the image over the entire plane. This generates a 1-...
Distributed systems generally require their component parts to interact cooperatively, in order for the system as a whole to function effectively. For any given activity, several ...
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...
This paper proposes an alternative paradigm for building affective competencies in embodied conversational agents (ECAs). The key feature of this approach -- and the reason for ref...
We propose an adaptive middleware design for context-aware applications that abstracts the applications from the sensors that provide context. Further, we use application-specifi...
