A lease is a token which grants its owner exclusive access to a resource for a defined span of time. In order to be able to tolerate failures, leases need to be coordinated by di...
This paper describes a real-time hand gesture recognition system and its application to VCR remote control. Cascaded classifiers are used to detect a number of different hand pose...
We describe the design and features of our Grid Computing Environments Shell system, or GCEShell. We view computing Grids as providing essentially a globally scalable distributed ...
The proposed implementation is a monitor system able to train operators for on-line real time manufacturing control in order to analyze the performance of a production process. Th...
