Generic code increases programmer productivity as it increases code reuse. For example, the LinkedList abstraction can be used in many contexts, from storing a list of numbers to storing representations of files on the disk. Unfortunately this comes at the ...
In the presence of parametric polymorphism, erasure-based languages such as Java and Scala handle primitives (boolean values, integers and floating point numbers) in a suboptimal way: in order to provide a uniform representation on the low level, all primi ...
The present work belongs to the vast body of research devoted to behaviors that emerge when homogeneous or heterogeneous agents interact. We adopt a stylized point of view in which the individual agents' activities can be assimilated into nonlinear dynamic ...
This paper focuses on urban environmental system identification. Wind-flow modeling is a challenging task because of simplifications of complex processes as well as geometry simplifications. Even a more detailed model may not be accurate because of uncerta ...

This article describes the design and implementation of named and default arguments in the Scala programming language. While these features are available in many other languages there are significant differences in the actual implementations. We present a ...
Most hydrological models are valid at most only in a few places and cannot be reasonably transferred to other places or to far distant time periods. Transfer in space is difficult because the models are conditioned on past observations at particular places ...
We demonstrate an analytical method for calculating the phase sensitivity of a class of oscillators whose phase does not affect the time evolution of the other dynamic variables. We show that such oscillators possess the possibility for complete phase nois ...
Cross-lingual speaker adaptation (CLSA) has emerged as a new challenge in statistical parametric speech syn- thesis, with specific application to speech-to-speech translation. Recent research has shown that reasonable speaker similarity can be achieved in ...
We discuss the adaptive behaviour of a collection of heterogeneous dynamical systems interacting via a weighted network. At each vertex, the network is endowed with a dynamical system with individual (initially different) control parameters governing the l ...
Invariant pairs have been proposed as a numerically robust means to represent and compute several eigenvalues along with the corresponding (generalized) eigenvectors for matrix eigenvalue problems that are nonlinear in the eigenvalue parameter. In this wor ...
