A dynamical model for retinal processing is presented. The model describes the output of retinal ganglion cells whose receptive field is composed of a center and a surround combi...
An important direction in database research for non-standard applications (e.g. engineering or design applications) deals with adequate support for complex objects. Without doubt,...
In this chapter, we discuss a widely used fault-tolerant data replication model called virtual synchrony. The model responds to two kinds of needs. First, there is the practical qu...
Service-oriented development offers a novel architectural approach that addresses crucial characteristics of modern business process development such as dynamic evolution, intra- ...
This paperconsidersthe problem of representingcomplex systems that evolve stochastically over time. Dynamic Bayesian networks provide a compact representation for stochastic proce...
