A Survey on Sensor Networks

by Lan F. Akyildiz, Welljan Su, Yogesh Sankarasubramaniam, Erdal Cayirci , 2002
"... Recent advancement in wireless communica- tions and electronics has enabled the develop- ment of low-cost sensor networks. The sensor networks can be used for various application areas (e.g., health, military, home). For different application areas, there are different technical issues that research ..."

The eyes have it: A task by data type taxonomy for information visualizations

by Ben Shneiderman - IN IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON VISUAL LANGUAGES , 1996
"... A useful starting point for designing advanced graphical user interjaces is the Visual lnformation-Seeking Mantra: overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand. But this is only a starting point in trying to understand the rich and varied set of information visualizations that have been ..."

Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation

by Kenneth E. Train , 2002
"... This book describes the new generation of discrete choice meth-ods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logi ..."

moments, and the method of simulated scores. Procedures for drawing from densities are described, including variance reduction techniques such as antithetics and Halton draws. Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis– Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs

Affective Computing

by R. W. Picard , 1995
"... Recent neurological studies indicate that the role of emotion in human cognition is essential; emotions are not a luxury. Instead, emotions play a critical role in rational decision-making, in perception, in human interaction, and in human intelligence. These facts, combined with abilities computers ..."

ATOMIC DECOMPOSITION BY BASIS PURSUIT

by Scott Shaobing Chen , David L. Donoho , Michael A. Saunders , 1995
"... The Time-Frequency and Time-Scale communities have recently developed a large number of overcomplete waveform dictionaries -- stationary wavelets, wavelet packets, cosine packets, chirplets, and warplets, to name a few. Decomposition into overcomplete systems is not unique, and several methods for d ..."

successfully only because of recent advances in linear programming by interior-point methods. We obtain reasonable success with a primal-dual logarithmic barrier method and conjugate-gradient solver.

Job Creation and Destruction

by J. C. Haltiwanger, S. Schuh , 1996
"... With unemployment at historically high levels in many OECD countries, increased job creation has risen to the top of the policy agenda for many western governments-but how can this be achieved? The importance of job creation (and destruction) in an economy cannot be overstated. Labour is organized a ..."

in recent years. Fur-thermore, job destruction can lead to involuntary worker separations and possibly substantial adjustment costs for individuals. This well-written book assembles much of the empirical work written on job creation and destruction. It is well laid out and accessible to both specialists

Efficient belief propagation for early vision

by Pedro F. Felzenszwalb, Daniel P. Huttenlocher - In CVPR , 2004
"... Markov random field models provide a robust and unified framework for early vision problems such as stereo, optical flow and image restoration. Inference algorithms based on graph cuts and belief propagation yield accurate results, but despite recent advances are often still too slow for practical u ..."

The architecture of complexity

by Herbert A. Simon - Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society , 1962
"... A number of proposals have been advanced in recent years for the development of “general systems theory ” that, abstracting from properties peculiar to physical, biological, or social systems, would be applicable to all of them. 1 We might well feel that, while the goal is laudable, systems of such ..."

Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology

by Natalya F. Noy, Deborah L. Mcguinness , 2001
"... In recent years the development of ontologies—explicit formal specifications of the terms in the domain and relations among them (Gruber 1993)—has been moving from the realm of Artificial-Intelligence laboratories to the desktops of domain experts. Ontologies have become common on the World-Wide Web ..."
