Lossy to lossless object-based coding of 3-D MRI data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gloria Menegaz

We propose a fully three-dimensional object-based coding system exploiting the diagnostic relevance of the different regions of the volumetric data for rate allocation. The data are first decorrelated via a 3D discrete wavelet transform. The implementation ...

Extensible Adaptation via Constraint Solving

Willy Zwaenepoel

Applications running on a mobile and wireless devices must be able to adapt gracefully to limited and fluctuating network resources. The variety of applications, platforms upon which they run, and desires of their users, require a variety of adaptation pol ...

Local pi-Calculus at Work: Mobile Objects as Mobile Processes (Full version)

Obliq is a lexically-scoped, distributed, object-based programming language. In Obliq, the migration of an object is proposed as creating a clone of the object at the target site, whereafter the original object is turned into an alias for the clone. Obliq ...

District Heating in the City of Tokyo: A Case Study using a new Integrated Simulation Environment.

Daniel Favrat, Hongtao Li, Meinrad Bürer

This paper aims to illustrate a new holistic modeling environment through a case study implementing a district heating system to supply four groups of users identified in the city of Tokyo. The holistic modeling environment, called DOME (Distributed Object ...

From an Abstract Object-Oriented Model to a Ready-to-Use Embedded System Controller

Stanislav Chachkov

We present an example of a construction of an embedded software system-a controller-from the formal specification to executable code. The CO-OPN (Concurrent Object Oriented Petri Net) formal specification language is used for modelling the controller and t ...

Abstractions for Distributed Programming: Guests or Relatives?

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster, Christian Heide Damm

What abstractions are useful for expressing distributed interaction? This question has constituted an active area of research in the last decades and several candidates have been proposed, including remote method invocation, tuple spaces and publish/subscr ...

Extensible Algebraic Datatypes with Defaults

Martin Odersky, Matthias Zenger

A major problem for writing extensible software arises when recursively defined datatypes and operations on these types have to be extended simultaneously without modifying existing code. This paper introduces Extensible Algebraic Datatypes with Defaults w ...

Replication of CORBA Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, André Schiper, Pascal Felber

Distributed computing is one of the major trends in the computer industry. As systems become more distributed, they also become more complex and have to deal with new kinds of problems, such as partial crashes and link failures. While many middleware archi ...

Integrating Object-Oriented Programming and Protected Objects in Ada 95

Jörg Kienzle

Integrating concurrent and object-oriented programming as been an active research topic since the late 1980s. There is now a plethora of methods for achieving this integration. The majority of approaches have taken a sequential object-oriented language and ...
