We define a new fixpoint modal logic, the visibly pushdown ?-calculus (VP-?), as an extension of the modal ?-calculus. The models of this logic are execution trees of structured p...
Pictorial structure (PS) models are extensively used for part-based recognition of scenes, people, animals and multi-part objects. To achieve tractability, the structure and param...
— In a wireless sensor network (WSN), each sensor monitors environmental parameters, and reports its readings to a base station, possibly through other nodes. A sensor works in c...
Replication and caching have been deployed widely in current P2P systems. In update-allowed P2P systems, a consistency maintenance mechanism is strongly demanded. Several solution...
The frame of our work is the efficient realistic rendering of scenes containing a huge amount of data for which an a priori knowledge is available. In this paper, we present a new...
