A task that suspends itself to wait for an I/O completion or to wait for an event from another node in distributed environments is called an I/O blocking task. In conventional har...
The dynamic texture (DT) is a probabilistic generative model, defined over space and time, that represents a video as the output of a linear dynamical system (LDS). The DT model ...
We discuss the algorithms which, given a linear difference equation with rational function coefficients over a field k of characteristic 0, compute a polynomial U(x) ∈ k[x] (a ...
Successful software maintenance is becoming increasingly critical due to the increasing dependence of our society and economy on software systems. One key problem of software main...
Pervasive robotics will require, in a near future, small, light and cheap robots that exhibit complex behaviors. These demands led to the development of the M2-M4 Macaco project -...
