Visual interpretation of hand gestures for human-computer interaction: A review

by Vladimir I. Pavlovic, Rajeev Sharma, Thomas S. Huang - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1997
"... The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. This has motivated a very active research area conc ..."

Uniprocessor Garbage Collection Techniques

by Paul R. Wilson - SUBMITTED TO ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS
"... We survey basic garbage collection algorithms, and variations such as incremental and generational collection; we then discuss low-level implementation considerations and the relationships between storage management systems, languages, and compilers. Throughout, we attempt to present a uni ed view b ..."

A group mobility model for ad hoc wireless networks

by Xiaoyan Hong, Mario Gerla, Guangyu Pei, Ching-chuan Chiang , 1999
"... In this paper, we present a survey of various mobility models in both cellular networks and multi-hop networks. We show that group motion occurs frequently in ad hoc networks, and introduce a novel group mobility model- Reference Point Group Mobility (RPGM)- to represent the relationship among mobil ..."

Theory and Practice of Constraint Handling Rules

by Thom Frühwirth , 1998
"... Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) are our proposal to allow more flexibility and application-oriented customization of constraint systems. CHR are a declarative language extension especially designed for writing user-defined constraints. CHR are essentially a committed-choice language consisting of mu ..."

property, confluence, of CHR programs and define a tight integration of CHR with constraint logic programming languages. This survey then describes implementations of the language before we review several constraint solvers - both traditional and non- standard ones - written in the CHR language. Finally we

Tabu Search -- Part II

by Fred Glover , 1990
"... This is the second half of a two part series devoted to the tabu search metastrategy for optimization problems. Part I introduced the fundamental ideas of tabu search as an approach for guiding other heuristics to overcome the limitations of local optimality, both in a deterministic and a probabilis ..."

, which bear on the issue of finiteness. Three ways of applying tabu search to the solution of integer programming problems are then described, providing connections also to certain nonlinear programming applications. Finally, the paper concludes with a brief survey of new applications of tabu search

Domain-Specific Languages: An Annotated Bibliography

by Arie Van Deursen, Paul Klint, Joost Visser - ACM SIGPLAN NOTICES , 2000
"... We survey the literature available on the topic of domain-specific languages as used for the construction and maintenance of software systems. We list a selection of 75 key publications in the area, and provide a summary for each of the papers. Moreover, we discuss terminology, risks and benefits, e ..."

Principles and methods of Testing Finite State Machines -- a survey

by David Lee, Mihalis Yannakakis - PROCEEDINGS OF IEEE , 1996
"... With advanced computer technology, systems are getting larger to fulfill more complicated tasks, however, they are also becoming less reliable. Consequently, testing is an indispensable part of system design and implementation; yet it has proved to be a formidable task for complex systems. This moti ..."

Parameter control in evolutionary algorithms

by A. E. Eiben, Z. Michalewicz, M. Schoenauer, J. E. Smith - IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation
"... Summary. The issue of setting the values of various parameters of an evolutionary algorithm is crucial for good performance. In this paper we discuss how to do this, beginning with the issue of whether these values are best set in advance or are best changed during evolution. We provide a classifica ..."
