We introduce an ACP-style discrete-time process algebra with relative timing, that features the empty process. Extensions to this algebra are described, and ample attention is pai...
A dynamic domain decomposition strategy is proposed for the effective parallel implementation of combined finite/discrete element approaches for problems involving multi-fracture a...

We study visual attention by detecting a salient object in an input image. We formulate salient object detection as an image segmentation problem, where we separate the salient obj...
In this paper, we describe a method for pedagogical agents to choose when to interact with learners in interactive learning environments. This method is based on observations of h...
— With an enhanced client computer performance and network bandwidth, peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution networks are receiving much attention. However, along with the popul...
