The physiology of the grid: An open grid services architecture for distributed systems integration

by Ian Foster , 2002
"... In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations ” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be t ..."

A statistical interpretation of term specificity and its application in retrieval

by Karen Spärck Jones - Journal of Documentation , 1972
"... Abstract: The exhaustivity of document descriptions and the specificity of index terms are usually regarded as independent. It is suggested that specificity should be interpreted statistically, as a function of term use rather than of term meaning. The effects on retrieval of variations in term spec ..."

Comparison of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms: Empirical Results

by Eckart Zitzler, Lothar Thiele, Kalyanmoy Deb , 2000
"... In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization using six carefully chosen test functions. Each test function involves a particular feature that is known to cause difficulty in the evolutionary optimization process, mainly in conver ..."

A Theory of Diagnosis from First Principles

by Raymond Reiter - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 1987
"... Suppose one is given a description of a system, together with an observation of the system's behaviour which conflicts with the way the system is meant to behave. The diagnostic problem is to determine those components of the system which, when assumed to be functioning abnormally, will explain ..."

PVM: A Framework for Parallel Distributed Computing

by V. S. Sunderam - Concurrency: Practice and Experience , 1990
"... The PVM system is a programming environment for the development and execution of large concurrent or parallel applications that consist of many interacting, but relatively independent, components. It is intended to operate on a collection of heterogeneous computing elements interconnected by one or ..."

or more networks. The participating processors may be scalar machines, multiprocessors, or special-purpose computers, enabling application components to execute on the architecture most appropriate to the algorithm. PVM provides a straightforward and general interface that permits the description

SIS: A System for Sequential Circuit Synthesis

by Ellen M. Sentovich, Kanwar Jit Singh, Luciano Lavagno, Cho Moon, Rajeev Murgai, Alexander Saldanha, Hamid Savoj, Paul R. Stephan, Robert K. Brayton, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli , 1992
"... SIS is an interactive tool for synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits. Given a state transition table, a signal transition graph, or a logic-level description of a sequential circuit, it produces an optimized net-list in the target technology while preserving the sequential input-output b ..."
Abstract - Cited by 527 (44 self) - Add to MetaCart
as both a framework within which various algorithms can be tested and compared, and as a tool for automatic synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits. This paper provides an overview of SIS. The first part contains descriptions of the input specification, STG (state transition graph) manipulation

Fronts propagating with curvature dependent speed: algorithms based on Hamilton–Jacobi formulations

by Stanley Osher, James A. Sethian , 1988
"... We devise new numerical algorithms, called PSC algorithms, for following fronts propagating with curvature-dependent speed. The speed may be an arbitrary function of curvature, and the front also can be passively advected by an underlying flow. These algorithms approximate the equations of motion, w ..."

, which resemble Hamilton-Jacobi equations with parabolic right-hand sides, by using techniques from hyperbolic conservation laws. Nonoscillatory schemes of various orders of accuracy are used to solve the equations, providing methods that accurately capture the formation of sharp gradients and cusps

The SWISS-PROT protein sequence data bank and its supplement TrEMBL in 1999

by Amos Bairoch, Rolf Apweiler - Nucleic Acids Res , 1999
"... SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domain structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other ..."

A Survey of Computer Vision-Based Human Motion Capture

by Thomas B. Moeslund, Erik Granum - Computer Vision and Image Understanding , 2001
"... A comprehensive survey of computer vision-based human motion capture literature from the past two decades is presented. The focus is on a general overview based on a taxonomy of system functionalities, broken down into four processes: initialization, tracking, pose estimation, and recognition. Each ..."

References are included throughout the paper to exemplify important issues and their relations to the various methods. A

SIGNAL RECOVERY BY PROXIMAL FORWARD-BACKWARD SPLITTING

by Patrick L. Combettes, Valérie R. Wajs - MULTISCALE MODEL. SIMUL. TO APPEAR
