Pervasive Computing: Vision and Challenges

by M. Satyanarayanan - IEEE Personal Communications , 2001
"... This paper discusses the challenges in computer systems research posed by the emerging field of pervasive computing. It first examines the relationship of this new field to its predecessors: distributed systems and mobile computing. It then identifies four new research thrusts: effective use of smar ..."

of smart spaces, invisibility, localized scalability, and masking uneven conditioning. Next, it sketches a couple of hypothetical pervasive computing scenarios, and uses them to identify key capabilities missing from today's systems. The paper closes with a discussion of the research necessary

Linked Data -- The story so far

by Christian Bizer, et al.
"... The term Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. These best practices have been adopted by an increasing number of data providers over the last three years, leading to the creation of a global data space containing billions of assertion ..."

OHSUMED: An interactive retrieval evaluation and new large test collection for research

by Chris Buckley , 1994
"... A series of information retrieval experiments was earned out with a computer installed in a medical practice setting for relatively inexperienced physician end-users. Using a commercial MEDLINE product based on the vector space model, these physicians searched just as effectively as more experienced ..."

An Approach to Creation of Smart Space-Based

by Trip Planning Service, Kirill A. Kulakov, Anton I. Shabaev
"... Abstract—Trip planning is among important and complex problems in tourism industry. Trip plan preparation requires data analyzing from a substantial number of services. Usually, service or standalone application provides limited functionality, which can be used only in trip preparation and for basic ..."

and for basic scenarios. This paper provides an approach to creating Smart Space-based Trip planning service. The Smart Space technology allows to create proactive services with context-based scenarios and multi-service usage. The paper describes trip planning problem as a list of possible tasks and presents

A real-time garbage collector based on the lifetimes of objects

by Henry Lieberman, Carl Hewitt, Danny Hillis - Communications of the ACM , 1983
"... ABSTRACT: In previous heap storage systems, the cost of creating objects and garbage collection is independent of the lifetime of the object. Since objects with short lifetimes account for a large portion of storage use, it is worth optimizing a garbage collector to reclaim storage for these objects ..."

-time--object creation and access times are bounded, (3) increases locality of reference, for better virtual memory performance, (4) works well with multiple processors and a large address space. 1.

Sampling strategies for bag-of-features image classification

by Eric Nowak, Frédéric Jurie, Bill Triggs - In Proc. ECCV , 2006
"... Abstract. Bag-of-features representations have recently become popular for content based image classification owing to their simplicity and good performance. They evolved from texton methods in texture analysis. The basic idea is to treat images as loose collections of independent patches, sampling ..."

a representative set of patches from the image, evaluating a visual descriptor vector for each patch independently, and using the resulting distribution of samples in descriptor space as a characterization of the image. The four main implementation choices are thus how to sample patches, how

SmartMesh: A Smart Structure for Object Creation

by Andrea Mazzone Christian, Christian Spagno, Andreas Kunz, Rui Zhang , 2003
"... We introduce the SmartMesh, a novel type of active structure capable of deforming actively its shape and thus being able to form objects. It is a new approach to find a solution to the difficulties that are encountered in the field of haptic interaction in virtual environments. The SmartMesh creates ..."
Abstract - Cited by 2 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
Mesh creates in real time the virtual objects as seen through head mounted displays at the according position in space. Thus, the virtual objects are not virtual anymore. The SmartMesh can be embedded into a table, into walls, ceilings and floors. The SmartMesh is actuated by a large number of linear actuators

Linkage Learning via Probabilistic Modeling in the ECGA

by Georges Harik, Georges Harik , 1999
"... The goal of linkage learning, or building block identification, is the creation of a more effective genetic algorithm (GA). This paper explores the relationship between the linkage-learning problem and that of learning probability distributions over multi-variate spaces. Herein, it is argued that th ..."
