Fine-grained Mobility in the Emerald System

by Eric Jul, Henry Levy, Norman Hutchinson, Andrew Black - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... Emerald is an object-based language and system designed for the construction of distributed programs. An explicit goal of Emerald is support for object mobility; objects in Emerald can freely move within the system to take advantage of distribution and dynamically changing environments. We say that ..."

that Emerald has fine-grained mobility because Emerald objects can be small data objects as well as process objects. Fine-grained mobility allows us to apply mobility in new ways but presents imple-mentation problems as well. This paper discusses the benefits of tine-grained mobility, the Emerald language

Kernel-Based Object Tracking

by Dorin Comaniciu, Visvanathan Ramesh, Peter Meer , 2003
"... A new approach toward target representation and localization, the central component in visual tracking of non-rigid objects, is proposed. The feature histogram based target representations are regularized by spatial masking with an isotropic kernel. The masking induces spatially-smooth similarity fu ..."

Robust Real-time Object Detection

by Paul Viola, Michael Jones - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2001
"... This paper describes a visual object detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates. There are three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the “Integral Image ” which allows the features ..."

Probabilistic Visual Learning for Object Representation

by Baback Moghaddam, Alex Pentland , 1996
"... We present an unsupervised technique for visual learning which is based on density estimation in high-dimensional spaces using an eigenspace decomposition. Two types of density estimates are derived for modeling the training data: a multivariate Gaussian (for unimodal distributions) and a Mixture-of ..."

Querying object-oriented databases

by Michael Kifer, Won Kim, Yehoshua Sagiv - ACM SIGMOD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF DATA , 1992
"... We present a novel language for querying object-oriented databases. The language is built around the idea of extended path expressions that substantially generalize [ZAN83], and on an adaptation of the first-order formalization of object-oriented languages from [KW89, KLW90, KW92]. The language inco ..."

A Hierarchical Internet Object Cache

by Anawat Chankhunthod , Peter B. Danzig, Chuck Neerdaels, Michael F. Schwartz, Kurt J. Worrell - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1996 USENIX TECHNICAL CONFERENCE , 1995
"... This paper discusses the design andperformance of a hierarchical proxy-cache designed to make Internet information systems scale better. The design was motivated by our earlier trace-driven simulation study of Internet traffic. We believe that the conventional wisdom, that the benefits of hierarch ..."

of magnitude under concurrent load. These measurements indicate that hierarchy does not measurably increase access latency. Our software can also be configured as a Web-server accelerator; we present data that our httpd-accelerator is ten times faster than Netscape's Netsite and NCSA 1.4 servers. Finally

Logical foundations of object-oriented and frame-based languages

by Michael Kifer, Georg Lausen, James Wu - JOURNAL OF THE ACM , 1995
"... We propose a novel formalism, called Frame Logic (abbr., F-logic), that accounts in a clean and declarative fashion for most of the structural aspects of object-oriented and frame-based languages. These features include object identity, complex objects, inheritance, polymorphic types, query methods, ..."

Linearizability: a correctness condition for concurrent objects

by Maurice P. Herlihy, Jeannette M. Wing , 1990
"... A concurrent object is a data object shared by concurrent processes. Linearizability is a correctness condition for concurrent objects that exploits the semantics of abstract data types. It permits a high degree of concurrency, yet it permits programmers to specify and reason about concurrent object ..."

Object Detection with Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models

by Pedro F. Felzenszwalb, Ross B. Girshick, David McAllester, Deva Ramanan
"... We describe an object detection system based on mixtures of multiscale deformable part models. Our system is able to represent highly variable object classes and achieves state-of-the-art results in the PASCAL object detection challenges. While deformable part models have become quite popular, their ..."

A Metrics Suite for Object Oriented Design

by Shyam R. Chidamber , Chris F. Kemerer , 1994
"... Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches to softwa ..."

In addition, the focus on process im-provement has increased the demand for software measures, or metrics with which to manage the process. The need for such metrics is particularly acute when an organization is adopting a
