This paper presents a formal design for a novel group communication service targeted for WANs. The service provides Virtual Synchrony semantics. Such semantics facilitate the desi...
Perceptual audio coders use an estimated masked threshold for the determination of the maximum permissible just-inaudible noise level introduced by quantization. This estimate is d...
When automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker verification (SV) are applied in adverse acoustic environments, endpoint detection and energy normalization can be crucial to th...
In a heap model, solid blocks, or pieces, pile up according to the Tetris game mechanism. An optimal schedule is an in nite sequence of pieces minimizing the asymptotic growth rat...
Abstract-- Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a large class of applications but they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired robot position...
