We present a novel image classiï¬cation technique for detecting multiple objects (called subobjects) in a single image. In addition to image classiï¬ers, we apply spatial relati...
Many tools exist for developing real-time distributed groupware, but most of these tools focus primarily on the performance of the resulting system, or on simplifying the developm...
Reputation mechanisms are a key technique to trust assessment in large-scale decentralized systems. The effectiveness of reputation-based trust management fundamentally relies on ...
Abstract—We apply automata theory to specifying behavioral interfaces of objects and show how to check schedulability and compatibility of real time asynchronous objects. The beh...
